My life feels like my bathtub right now, clogged and taking a long time to drain. I'm trying to find encouragement in the little things but it's so much easy to be pessimistic and bitter. My study of the book of Romans gave me another thing to wrestle with today.
Chapter 9 is all about God's Sovereign choice. Verse 15 says "I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose." Later in verse 18 it says, "So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen." I've always struggled with this passage and in days like today when I feel like a clogged up bathtub that I feel more like Pharoah than a chosen one.
