Psalms 78:41
Repeatedly they challenged God and pained the Holy One of
Israel.
Do you ever really stop and think about how our actions can be
affecting the Holy One of Israel heart?
When we rather hate forward instead of love forward-it pains the
Father.
When we rather look toward a worldly system instead of His kingdom
system-it pains the Father.
When we don’t trust Him-it pains the Father.
When we mock Him-it pains the Father.
When we turn our backs on Him-it pains the Father.
Imagine how God felt after taking his people out of the bondage
of Egypt, doing miracles like departing the Red Sea, and even sustaining them
just for them to turn their hearts to an idol then to Him. It pained Him.
We live in a broken world and it’s so easy for us to be caught up
in what it calls the norms. Yet let us dwell upon this thought
today:
Is my actions pleasing the Father or causing Him pain?
Selah…
