Pride -- in Dictating to God
Romans 9:19-20
You will say then to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?…


The petty sovereign of an insignificant tribe in North America every morning stalks out of his hovel, bids the sun good-morrow, and points out to him with his finger the course he is to take for the day. Is this arrogance more contemptible than ours when we would dictate to God the course of His providence, and summon Him to our bar for His dealings with us? How ridiculous does man appear when he attempts to argue with his God!

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
