We saw yesterday that the Lord Jesus Christ was walking by the Pool of Bethesda and chose to heal the man who had been crippled many years. However, He healed no one else. When you read the Scriptures, the Sovereignty of God jumps off every page. Why did God pick out Naaman to be healed of leprosy, yet leave all the others to suffer? Because He is Sovereign. We need to grasp the idea that God does not have to show mercy on you. God only has to leave you alone for you to go to hell. We don't deserve to be saved. But PRAISE GOD THAT HE EXTENDS HIS GRACE TO YOU TODAY BY ALLOWING YOU TO HEAR THE TRUTH!
God is Sovereign in the exercise of His love. When I say He is Sovereign in His love, I mean that God loves whom He chooses. God does not love everybody the same. If He did, He would love the devil. Do you realize that no fallen child of Adam's race has anything that would attract the love of God? God loves whom He will and the cause of this love is found only in God. He loves you in spite of you. That is good news!
The life lesson to embrace is: When we trust in God’s Sovereignty, it causes us to not compare ourselves with others and to endure hardships as He desires for us. We trust Him.
