An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Depressing Reality

(Psa 81:12 KJV)  So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

(Proverbs 5 also read)

What a depressing verse.  After again going through all the times that God had demonstrated His love for them He again returns to the fact that they are not responding.  He finally gives up on them.  The depressing part is that God can give up on us.  

But don’t stop there.  Historically He gave up on this group but there are also the places where we are reminded that in the larger group there are always a few who make us the true Israel, the faithful remnant, in today’s terms the Body of Christ.  While God may write Icabod over the door of your church He never departs from those who are listening to His voice.

So?  Rejoice for His personal touch.  Mourn for those who have chosen to go their own way.
