What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid [Rom_9:14].
Beloved What will we say to this? Is there injustice with God? Perish the thought! Let it not be. The answer is a loud no!
The natural man rebels against the sovereignty of God. If anything is left to God to make the choice, the man immediately concludes that there is injustice. Why is that?
There are people today who have highly praised some of the presidents we have from Regan to Biden. Some of these men have made, bad judgments made during their terms in office, and as a result, thousands of people have died. Yet some of those men received more votes than any man who has run for president. The remarkable thing is that we often do not question the judgments of men, but we do question the judgments of God.
Beloved, although we cannot intrude into the mysterious dealings of God, we can trust Him to do justice. We cannot avoid the doctrine of election, nor can we reconcile God's sovereign election with man's (so-called) free will. Both are true. Let's keep in mind that this is His universe. He is sovereign. I am but a little creature on earth, and He could take away the breath from me in the next moment. Do I have the boldness to stand on my two feet, look Him in the face, and question what He does? That would be a rebellion of the worst kind. I bow to my Creator and my Redeemer, knowing that whatever choice He makes is right. By the way, if you do not like what He does, perhaps you should move out of His universe and start one of your own so you can make your own rules. But as long as you live in God's universe, you will have to play according to His rules. Little man needs to bow his stiff neck and stubborn knees before Almighty God and say, “There is no unrighteousness with Thee” (see Joh_7:18).
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion [Rom_9:15].
Moses, you recall, wanted to see the glory of God. God said in effect, “I'll show it to you, Moses, but I'll not show it to you because you are Moses.” Now, Moses was a very important person. He was leading the children of Israel through the wilderness. God says, “I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. I will do this for you, not because you are Moses, but because I am God!” Do you know why God saved me? It was not because my name is Michael Tolliver, but because He is God. He made the choice, and I bow before Him. To Him be the glory. This is a spotlight on the Scriptures.
