"My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times. You rebuke the arrogant, who are cursed and who stray from your commands." (Ps 119:20-21 NIV) How would you feel if a child of yours willfully disobeyed and defied you? Imagine how God (our Heavenly Father) must feel. It is good that His ways are not like our ways; instead of justice, He extends to us His mercy and lovingkindness. Imagine now how it makes you feel when your children are obedient and submissive to your will and guidance! Imagine again, how God must feel when we are the same. Which group are you in?
Prayer: Lord, thank you for rewarding those that diligently seek you. May we forever be consumed with pleasing you. Amen.
1 John 3:20-22. . . .For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. KJV
