Have we forgot his works; not waited for his counsel?
Have we lusted exceedingly in this world that has tried to crowd out God?
Have we seen the earth opened and swallow up ciies filled with evil?
Have we created images and sat ourselves before them all the day long?
Has this kept us so busy that we haven't had time to think about or read about God our saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
Have we murmured in our tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
Have we watched families relive over and over the sins of their parents when God has overthrown their seed also among the nations, and scattered them in the lands. They joined themselves with the many bad things in this world including alcholism, adultery, fornication and all around evils of this world.
Have we provoked him to anger with the constant use of phones, tv, Internet, sports and other things that fill up our day and leave us no time for God?
Has anyone stood up like Phinehas, and executed judgment: (when he killed the israelite man and woman from Moab that were fornicating in the tent) Has anyone stood up and shown you the way that you are spending your time on things that keep you away from God?
Phinehas' deed was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
I think at times we all we forget his works,which is sad,But Praise the Lord when he straightens us up,and wakes us Back up :)
ReplyDeleteI know. I find myself saying How could the Israelites forget??? And then I find myself in the same predicament.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the article on your site under the head covering topic. I had never heard of the footnote in the Niv that goes against the Greek translation. A very informative article!!
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how the Israelites can forget,but then i think we all get lost,we have to want,and the the Lord to lead us back.
That is why the world is so messed up, a lot fall short,and just do not turn ,and listen to God speak to them,they do not care ,and they ignore him when he speaks to them.
