MEMORY VERSE: "Then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you" Job 22:25
NOTES: (v.1-29) "IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT THE NATURAL CHILDREN WHO ARE GOD'S CHILDREN, BUT IT IS THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE WHO ARE REGARDED AS ABRAHAM'S OFFSPRING" (V.8)
Before neither of Rebekah's sons even did anything, God predestined it so that "the older will serve the younger".
(V.15-16) "FOR HE SAYS TO MOSES, 'I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.' 16IT DOES NOT, THEREFORE, DEPEND ON MAN'S DESIRE OR EFFORT, BUT ON GOD'S MERCY."
These few chapters in Romans have really emphasized the magnitude of God's sovereignty and grace, and how we are truly saved and redeemed by the grace of God. It's really comforting to know how powerful God's hand is in our lives, and how much he "works for the good of those who love him."
ACT OF LOVE: Today I went to watch Despicable Me with some friends (which, by the way, is my new favorite movie. SO CUTEEEE). We arrived around an hour early, so I went to get Jamba Juice with my friend since it was BOGO. My act of love was paying for her jamba (since her's was technically half-priced anyways)! We both got power strawberry shortcakes that lasted us the entire movie. MMM!
