This week, we explore the concept of God’s mercy and our response to it. The central theme revolves around Romans 9:14-18, where Paul discusses God’s sovereignty in showing mercy. We’re challenged to consider whether we’re following the Way or getting in the way. The story of Pharaoh serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of hardening our hearts against God. Just as a river flows around obstacles, God’s purpose will be accomplished with or without our cooperation. This teaching encourages us to humble ourselves before God, trusting His timing and purpose for our lives. It’s a call to embrace God’s mercy and allow His life-giving river to flow through us to others.
