Encouragement for Christians to Remember God’s Authority (Romans 9 & Matthew 9)

God is sovereign. He chooses to show mercy as He wills. Romans 9 reminds us: we are the clay, not the potter.

And yet, in Matthew 9, we see the heart of that same sovereign God when Jesus says, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”

This devotional holds both truths together: God has absolute authority, and His desire is mercy.

When life feels unfair or confusing, remember—you don’t have to understand His decisions to trust His character.

📖 Romans 9:15 – “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy…”
📖 Matthew 9:13 – “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”
