I just started reading the book of Judges. The synopsis spoke of the older generation have returned to their forefathers and of the younger generation turning from the Lord’s warnings and teachings and doing it their ways. These ways, of course, led to destruction. I was sitting here this morning judging them for their stupidity…the laws were there, the examples were set by the elders, history had been taught! So why did the younger generation depart from the ways of old?
They were probably old-fashioned, stringent, boring, and complex. We, as young adults, think we know better! We can do it faster, easier, less complicated and with a whole lot more fun!! Those of us who are now older know there is nothing farther from the truth.
I went to Sunday school, attended church as a teen became a young adult with God always a significant focal point in my spirit; however, my life and walk certainly didn’t reflect him, his laws, nor the teachings of the Bible and ways of old. Just like the youthful Israelite generation, I wanted to do it my way, the easy way, the fun way. The path to destruction!
Genesis 28:15 NIV “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you.”
This is our blessing of Grace! Our Lord loves us, yesterday, today and tomorrow. He loves us if we are toeing the line or walking a broad circle. He knows what’s best for us even when we don’t and is standing there arms wide open just waiting for us to walk back into them.
Don’t ever be afraid you’ve gone too far, reached too low, or have done too bad! He will meet you wherever you are! He is patient, kind and loving, quick to forgive, and most willing to heal. You need to turn around, turn it around and step back in; He’s there patiently waiting.
May you be blessed today and be a blessing today. Thank you as always for joining me. It’s Sunday, God’s Day ❣️❣️ Share some Love…
