Theme for the Week: CONSEQUENCES OF HUMANKIND'S REJECTION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
Reading: Psalm 81:8-14
_______________________
Psalm 81:11,12 (NIV)
¹¹“But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.
¹²So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Severally did God warn His people, Israel, about His wrath, but they would not listen; and even if they did, it was but for a short time and then they go back to their waywardness. At any wind that may blew, God's people easily forget about His mighty works in their lives and follow after their own desires.
So it is with our generation today. We selfishly follow own desires in blindness. Sometimes, God allows us to follow our stubbornness that we would learn our lesson, knowing the consequences of sin.
The issue we undermine is the supremacy of God's Word above His name. Surely, He will never go against His Word, and so shall bring all sin into judgement. Let us, thus, not take God's mercy as His weakness, but be obedient to Him in all situations.
Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we praise You. Father, keep us in line with Your Word, in Jesus' name. Amen.
