DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ROMANS 9:20-21


(20)  Nay  but,  O man, who art thou that repliest against God?  Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,  Why hast thou made me thus?
(21)  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?


WHAT ARE OUR CONCERNS?


Brethren, knowingly or unknowingly, humanity strives against its maker at all times;  we question his wisdom and prerogatives, why our lives are not perfectly made, why we feel unsuccessful, why we feel stricken by ailments, compare our lives with other people and feel like failures;  but we are not!

For, our lives are predetermined by our Father before birth on earth; however, at times, he creates souls mainly for destruction, our Father gives them spirits of waywardness, and they walk on earth but are children of perdition: refer to John 17:12;  with those individuals, he hardens their hearts to walk in disobedience of his words, shows his powers and mighty acts through their sinful behaviors to glorify himself within his sovereignty, thereafter destroy their lives:  for example, in Exodus 9:12, our Father hardened the heart of  Pharaoh, to content with him with arrogant and prideful spirits, in other to show who he is among his chosen people, thorough Pharaoh's sinful attributes, our Father performed miracles, signs and wonders, released his beloved children from bondage, and prevailed over Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea:  in Genesis 19:24: when perverseness overwhelm cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, our Father with vengeance of fury, rained brimstone and fire from heaven and consume those cities before him;  Genesis 7:23, when inquities prevailed against the earth, our Father destroyed all things of the earth with flood, but save only eight souls from the family of Noah; our Father is long suffering, but let us be careful of our actions and behaviors before him; once he decides to bring upon humanity his vengeance of fury, who can make him change his mind?; this is a point to ponder on!

In reality, our Father does not give accounts for his mannerisms in his sovereignty;  he is the great "I AM", who was, is and forevermore will be; he does whatever he feels like doing with his creation, no one can question his mysterious ways;  as beloved children, we can ask him questions on what to do, when we do not understand certain things in life, or in conflict with one another;  however, he may or may not answer our inquiry minds depending on the questions asked and his will to answer them;  he can do whatever he desires with his own creation: we are nothing but clays in his hands; therefore, he can breakdown his clay when marred, turn things upside down, as he pleases in his creative hands; no one watches over him to question why he breaks down his vessels and remakes them;  for, can an earthen vessel say to the potter, "you made me not, I made my own self?; or the earthen vessel question the wisdom of its maker?;  no they cannot!;  however, many times, through our utterances, attitudes and ungodly behaviors, humanity questions our Father, creator and maker at all times with words of displeasures in his providential grace.


CONCLUSION:


Dearly beloved, let us not be ungrateful to our Father, but rather thank him, give him all glory, for he is good and his mercies endures forever;  for example, if we take times and efforts to create objects of admirations, make them beautiful, adorables for the world to see our great potentials; but receive nothing, than disapprovals, reproves and displeasures, how can we be encouraged to bring about more creativities?;  this is just how we react towards our maker;  directly or indirectly, we say to our Father, he made mistakes by sending us into this world;  no!, he does not make mistakes, we are here for his purposes to shine as lights of this world of darkness;  therefore, let us be careful what we do with our gifts and talents, do his will diligently, walk in righteousness, resist temptations of the devil, be humble and appreciate our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; for, he took times and efforts to fashion and form us to fit perfectly, have dominion over all things of his creation; therefore, we are highly favored, fearfully and wonderfully made, let us rejoice, be exceedingly glad for his handiworks and who we are in him;  however, our Father will have mercy on whosoever he desires to have mercy, and those who choose to turn away from him and follow the devil on earth, Jesus Christ will destroy in Hades forever and evermore;  if we walk in righteousness, what are our concerns?


QUOTE OF THE DAY:


(KJV.)  Isaiah 64:8:  But now,  O LORD, thou art our father;  we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
