Foolish Things
“The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.” (Proverbs 21:8)
Today’s Morsel: When we fail to obey the truth of God’s Word, we are more prone to do a lot of strange things. We may find ourselves doing more sinful things when we refuse to obey scripture. We may find ourselves in perverseness, greed, and many hurtful lusts. We may find ourselves being led away from our own steadfastness. We are more apt to lie, cheat, and steal. We are often looking over our shoulders finding excuses to support our reason for leaving the church. It is never our fault when we do not obey God’s Word, it’s always someone else’s. Saul blamed the people for his lack of obedience. Paul said, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Romans 1:21-32) When we are not thankful for what God has done for us, we can see what evils will come. All the evils that we see in the world today are due in great part because people have not a love for the truth, they are not thankful, and they no longer have a love for God.
Sing: If anyone should ever write my life story, for whatever reason there might be, You'd be there, between each line of pain and glory, Cause You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, Oh You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, Jesus, You’re the best things that has ever happened to me.
