Romans 11:32
For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so He could have mercy on everyone.
It has been said that the ground is level at the foot of the Cross. Everyone who has ever lived, born of Adam, has entered this world with a defective human nature. Because of this sin-nature we have all made foolish decisions, we've missed the mark of perfection in our lives. So we all have an equal opportunity to kneel before Him in repentance.
Truly, no one can know God's thoughts, or understand His ways in our own thinking and deciphering. He has taken the weak things to conquer the strong, and the foolish things to confound the wise. He has bound, imprisoned everyone in disobedience, not one seeks after God, no not one! This way, God could have mercy on everyone, to draw them to Himself and forgive.
God has drawn me to Himself, broken the shackles of rebellion, and taught me of His beauty and love. His wisdom and power cannot be measured by human standards. We all come up short when we try to approach Him in our own strength, by our own methods; for we are feeble and foolish. Only in God can we find true beauty, wisdom and strength. Only His ways lead to health and life and abundance, eternally.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
