Thoughts for another day
June 4, 2010
Today's verse: 1 Sam. 8:7. Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
In Ministry we come across many kinds of people. There’re those who profess to do much for God and stand in His behalf. There’re others who claim to have a close relationship with Him. Wow, you might say upon hearing this; but then you discover that what they said is far from the truth!
There’re others saying, please come and pray for me my life’s in a mess. So you go pray for them and give some simple instructions to follow. Yet, when they call you again and you ask whether they’ve done the simple things, their answer is, I tried, but wasn’t successful. Funny, when a man is thirsty, he will walk to the source of water wherever it is, but here! Ah, so many are the dim-witted ideas of people, I get sick of them. They’ll do all the things they want to, except those which are beneficial for them. I know it because I have experienced these things.
The first casualty in the people heading towards destruction is God. They prefer not to talk to God but will ask, rather plead you, to pray for them! Then trusting God we give them His ways to follow for remedy but yet again, they don’t do it giving stupid reasons for their behavior; it’s just amazing. Like our Scripture says above, the Israelites wanted a king rejecting God as their king, so too, people want a counselor rejecting the Most Gentle, Most Kind Holy Spirit who can soothe the insides of a human being and bring the peace of Jesus Christ in him. They want human interface when it’s clear they have to go to the Lord rather than man. How sad I feel when I see people running here and there but refusing to run to God. Imagine what God might be feeling when He sees this nonsense. Sometimes in prayer I ask God why we don’t see miracles now and the answer is obvious. But today, God is asking us to make a choice: Him or the world. Where do you lean?
