TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Romans 9:14–18 [14] What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! [15] For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” [16] So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. [17] For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” [18] So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey, my friends, welcome to the morning mindset. |
| 0:06.5 | You know, I was looking at the statistics for this podcast, how many people are listening, |
| 0:11.7 | and it looks like since the beginning of 2025, we may have up to 10,000 additional |
| 0:18.1 | people listening to the morning mindset every day. If you're one of those people, |
| 0:21.9 | I want to say welcome. I want to thank you for listening. I hope the morning mindset is helping |
| 0:26.3 | you get your mind aligned with the truth of God's word every day. This is a listener-fueled project, |
| 0:33.6 | meaning listeners support us on a monthly basis. If you're interested in finding out |
| 0:38.0 | how you can support what's going on with the morning mindset for as little as $5 a month, |
| 0:43.2 | you can go to morning mindsetmedia.com slash support to find out all the details for how you can do |
| 0:49.6 | that. You can find that URL in the description for today's episode. All right, today we're going to be looking at Romans chapter 9 verses 14 through 18. |
| 0:58.9 | So get out your Bibles or your morning mindset journals if you have one of those. |
| 1:02.8 | And we are going to dig in as soon as we pray. |
| 1:06.1 | I always pray here at the beginning of the episodes because I want to hear from God. |
| 1:10.3 | And I want him to help us. |
| 1:12.5 | So Lord God, we ask you to give us insight and understanding about what you wrote here. |
| 1:18.7 | Help us to set aside our emotion and our experience and listen instead to the facts of the matter as you describe it. Help us to receive what you |
| 1:30.3 | have to say. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. All right, Romans chapter 9 is part of this discussion |
| 1:38.2 | that the apostle Paul has been carrying on about how God chooses the people who are going to be his people. And in verse 14, he says, |
| 1:47.6 | what shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means. Now, what he's saying here is |
| 1:55.4 | some people might think that the way God goes about choosing the people who are going to be his people |
