When God’s Word Doesn’t Make Sense
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” (Proverbs 13:13)
Today’s Morsel: Sometimes, God’s word doesn’t seem to make sense to us when we read it. But we must love it and obey it as it is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16). God doesn’t always expect us to understand the things which He says in His word, He just expects us to love it and obey it. How many times have you heard that God’s ways aren’t our ways, and neither are His thoughts. Where many fall into trouble are they try to figure it out without taking it at face value. And because some folks don’t understand, they reject it, and miss out on what God would have done through them. Jonah is a prime example. I often wonder what the story of Jonah would have read like if he had just obeyed and went and preached to Nineveh as God commanded him to do. But no! We read of him spending three days and three nights in the belly of a whale in the ocean, and then he goes and does what God told him to do in the first place. That seems crazy. We read about King Saul. What would his kingdom have been if he would have just obeyed and killed all the Amalekites as God’s word told him? God even told him why He wanted him to kill them all, but no, we read that his kingdom was rent from him and given to David because he rejected the word of God. As a child of God, you must not despise God’s word. It may not make sense to you when you read it or hear it. But you must learn to love it and obey it as it is for your example and good health. Obedience is always better than sacrifice.
Sing: Let Jesus lead you, let Jesus lead you, let Jesus lead you all the way. All the way from earth to glory, let Jesus lead you all the way.
