#104 Something Worse than a difficult life. Something Worse than all this pain & suffering.
Something Worse than all the bad things that happen to us. Am I more afraid of losing the blessings or losing my relationship with God?
The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall break down their altars.’ Yet you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this?" Judges 2: 1-2. We are no different. Do we want God or do we want the good life here on earth?
There is
Something Worse than a difficult life.
Something Worse than all this pain & suffering.
Something Worse than all the bad things that happen to us.
Insecure.
Invisible.
Inadequate.
Is that the worse?
Losing all life's blessings?
Is that the worse?
God is re-defining the word "love" for me.
What is my greatest good in this life?
Is it God?
Am I any different than the people in Judges?
Am I more afraid of losing the blessings or losing my relationship with God?
A telling verse: Luke 12:56 How is it that you don't know how to interpret the present time? Your present self?
