I am the Lord Your God (part 2)

• God is in such great control that He can demonstrate who has His favor and He can lead and make the decision to aide or not to aide. Do I think He actually hates Esau as He says in Romans 9:3? I believe that is more of a comparison as Jesus spoke of in Luke 14:26, so that we know He is choosing Jacob over Esau and that our salvation is coming through Jacob's line. He is also in such control that He knows all of our hearts and those who are rich in His Spirit. (Rev 2:9) He doesn't delight in evil but rejoices in the truth as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:5. And He knows who is His and who isn't. And He promises to bless those that love Him, and honor them always. (Proverbs 8:21)
