A Question for the Ages

Exodus 4:21 Sometimes, God being sovereign doesn't make any sense.

Transcript

What's up, everyone? I'm Ruthenna Porterfield, God's favorite, and I want you to get to know him. This is the meet my God podcast. 

Today we meet God in Exodus, chapter four, verse 21. One of the amazing and sometimes unpleasant mysteries of God is the fact that he's sovereign. He can do whatever he wants, however he wants. As shown in this one verse, God could have moved on Pharaoh's heart to set the Israelites free in an instant, but he chose to harden Pharaoh's heart and prolong the suffering of his chosen people. Why? It's a question repeated throughout the ages with an answer that our human minds just can't begin to understand. It's frustrating, but the more frustrated we get, the harder we have to lean into our faith.
