Quote
God permits the wicked, but not forever. SIR THOMAS FULLER (1608–1661)
Today's Verses - KJV
Ezek
9:4-6 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the
city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads
of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done
in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing,
Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare,
neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and
little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the
mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men
which were before the house.
My Thoughts and Comments
Does God take notice
of those who weep over sin that is rampant in the world and the
church. Does He also know those who have a "don't care attitude?" Are
we on fire or are we becoming lukewarm and showing it by our attitude
toward sin? Do we have a "bless me attitude" and as long as we are
being blessed we don't really care what else is taking place? Are we as
serious about getting sin out of our own life and the rest of the camp
as these verses say? When we are told to "mortify the deeds of our
flesh" is this the same as considering them dead and deprived of
authority over us? Has the Lord changed or does He still hate sin?
PrayerThe Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. God is interested in what we think of sin. He has made it clear what He thinks. Are we on His team or going against Him? We cannot love sin and love God at the same time. In the above verses God said get rid of all the abominations being done, spare not, have no pity on them. Please understand me, I am not saying kill all who sin. I am saying God wants sin eradicated from our life. Notice, He said let it begin at the house of God. May God have mercy on the ministry that tells those who listen to them that sin is all right because we are under grace. Beloved, hear what grace really is - Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; God desires we be holy as He is holy. Grace has never been a liberty to continue in sin! Are we pressing toward this mark and are we teaching and preaching it to those who will listen? Ministers and teachers, God expects us to be holy before we exhort others to be holy! Are we examples accordingly? Meditate on it! Lord
God, make us righteous in Jesus Christ. Put it in our hearts to walk in
His holiness giving You glory, honor and praise. Give us boldness,
tempered by Your love to minister Your Word, not adding to or taking
from. We
ask
believing we receive so we give thanks in the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
Jesus Christ
is Lord
