We're in the book of Exodus and we're seeing this troubling situation where God hardens Pharaoh's heart yet still holds him accountable for his actions. This unsettles us and our immediate response is to get angry and cry "Foul! That's unjust!" Paul deals with this topic in Romans 9 and uses a number of Old Testament passages to show us something profound about ourselves and more importantly, something utterly profound and unexpected about God. And surprisingly, the result won't be anger, confusion, or doubt. It will be worship!
