Romans 9

God said, “I will have mercy and compassion upon whomever I want.” He is the potter and we are the clay. We can’t ask him, “Why did you make me this way?”

Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if my lawnmower told me, “I don’t want to mow your lawn anymore. I want to be your truck.” As Homer Simpson would say, “Doh!”

Whenever we accomplish anything for God, we must acknowledge His mercy in granting us the privilege to work for Him. We apply our efforts in the direction he points us. If we are a lawn mower, we make the best looking lawn possible.

Note: John Oliver is VERY SICK. Please keep praying. His life is in the balance. The Lord’s will be done.
