Today’s Devotional

Romans 9:11 reminds us of God’s sovereign choice in selecting and calling people for His purposes. In the context of the passage, Paul is discussing the selection of Jacob over Esau, even before they were born. This divine choice illustrates God’s sovereignty in salvation and His freedom to choose whom He wills.
 
This verse challenges our understanding of merit and worthiness, as it emphasizes that God’s choices are based on His purpose and not on our actions or qualifications. God’s sovereign election is a demonstration of His grace, for He chooses us not because of our own merit but because of His love and purpose.

Time to reflect

With God’s sovereign choice in mind, we can consider the following points:
 
  • Acknowledge God’s sovereignty in the process of salvation and the calling of individuals for His purposes.
  • Embrace the reality that God’s choice is not based on our merit but on His grace and purpose.
  • Trust in God’s wisdom and love as we seek to understand His purposes in our lives.
  • Reflect on God’s grace in our own lives, recognizing that we have been chosen by Him not because of our worthiness but because of His love.
  • Share the message of God’s sovereign grace with others, inviting them to experience His love and salvation.
