23	4/25	Rom 9:1-13	Romans 9:11–12 (ESV) — 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”	God chose Jacob not because of works.	Esau lived for his appetite. Jacob lived to deceive, except that after almost 40 years, he realized that he was tired of living by deception to get what he wanted. He wrestled with God one night, actually closer to 40 years, and determined that to be blessed he would not let go of God. He wanted God above the things of the world that deception had gained him. He learned.	I wrestle with you Lord and my sins every day. Sometimes I obey, most days I feel I lose. I give in to pride or appetite or something that you have made clear to me that I should not do. Forgive me. Thank you for choosing me not on the basis of my works.
