Romans 9:1-7
It is snowing! Yes, as I look out my window fresh snow is falling and more is on the way. Some may not enjoy it, but I do enjoy the feeling of cold on my face, hands and even toes. It is refreshing and invigorating. My first real job involved shoveling snow off the sidewalks circling a business complex. Most of it was not too hard but when the wind blew, one side of each of the four buildings collected a large snow drift. My job was to faithfully shovel so others could access the businesses. Out of my relationship with my employer I was able to help others. I remember being able to give money at Christmas time to people working in other countries to tell others of Jesus. I was blessed so I could be a blessing. Paul uses his own life as an example in Romans 9:1-5. He understands how God has blessed him through salvation in Christ. Paul also sees that others are not experiencing this blessing because of their rejection of Jesus. His desire is to simply see others know the saving grace found only through trusting Jesus to save them. Paul wanted others to know God’s great salvation so they could be a blessing and tell other of Jesus. Let others see your confidence in Jesus as your Savior as you serve like your savior, telling others of the savior, so they can know the savior. Our sovereign God will reward your faithful service even though at times it may feel like you are shoveling snow drifts.
