Good morning all and a happy Sunday to you. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
Do you ever have a time or have seen times when action should have been taken, yet it was not? Do we just take action carnally or spiritually?
God wants us to do what is right. First, we SHOULD consult Him, however, the knee jerk response is to do it ourselves.
Do bad things follow when we do wrong and fail to ask forgiveness? I was thinking about David. He committed adultery, committed murder, then what happened.
A prophet came to him and basically set him straight. David asked for forgiveness, BUT, he still suffered the consequences of his sin(s).
First, the baby with Bathsheba died, then a son raped a daughter -- when David found out about this he did nothing. So, what happened then?
Then a son, Absalom, whose sister, Tamar, had been raped by his half brother, he then killed the half-brother Ammon (2 Samuel 13)
Ansalom fled and went to Geshur. The saga continues from here. The point I am getting to is that when David heard about Tamar being raped by Ammon he was furious, yet did nothing. Absalom waited 2 years before he enacted revenge on Ammon.
When there is a wrong, are we to just sit by and do nothing? This is what David did!!! How often do we sit and complain about the government, the woke movement, the LBGTQ+ movement, yet we do nothing.
We ask, well what can I do, I am only one person. We can pray, share the good news of Jesus, write to the authorities over us, and speak up if you see a wrong.
That is a tough decision, however, if we let the Holy Spirit lead we can be heard. Thank you for trying to follow in my ramblings today. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
