End Time: 6:22 AM

Title: Read God’s Words

Scriptures: Proverbs 30:5-6

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Proverbs 30:5-6 says...

5 You can trust this: Every word that God speaks is true. God is a safe place for those who go to him. 6 So don’t try to change what God says. If you do, he will punish you and prove that you are a liar.

Many people today have what we call selective memory.  We only retain those we like or want to learn or keep.  This is in nature a true exercise of our gift of choice from the Lord.  However, the verses above remind us that the word of the Lord is beyond our own understanding and we cannot choose which to believe and which not to.  Yes, God is love.  He is merciful, gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love.  But the word of the Lord also says that the Lord is just.  He is righteous and treats all fairly.  So we can't justify our sins or the things we did wrong with the idea that we will not suffer the consequence because God is love. It's true that God will forgive those who ask for His forgiveness but remember that in every action comes an equal reaction.  So our actions has consequence.  Whether God has forgiven us or not, the truth remains that what we sow we reap.  It will be God's choice whether He spare us from the consequence of our actions but the truth is every action we do, whether good or bad, is a seed we plant and soon it will grow and we will harvest and reap what we have sown in due time.  So don't select just what you want to believe about the Lord.  Don't box Him and define Him as the God you want Him to be.  Read the Bible and know your One and True Almighty God!

Happy Wednesday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for this wonderful and amazing words.  Thank You for reminding me Lord not to take Your words out of context but instead, I should read through Your words and seek Your help in fully understanding the words You speak.  Give me the wisdom Lord to know and understand every word You spoke and not to mis interpret them or believe only what I deemed true or likeable.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
