Subject: Muddy Water |
Bible Note: Muddy Waters “I have always loved you,” says the Lord. But you retort, “Really? How have you loved us? And the Lord replies, “This is how I showed my love for you: I loved your ancestor Jacob, but I rejected his brother, Esau, and devastated his hill country. I turned Esau’s inheritance into a desert for jackals.” Malachi 1:2-3 He made a choice to love Jacob and keep a covenant thousands of years: His divine purpose never wavering. He has made a choice to love us: His divine purpose never wavering. But we have chosen to muddy the water. We want our cake and eat it to. We want His divine guidance and blessing yet we chose to cut apart His word to suit our needs. When we have been given mercy and grace, we chose to share it on our terms and not His. We confuse, self-love with love of, love for Elohim. We have put our own desires before His desires and have muddied the water He has given us love On whose terms to we choose to share it? He has chosen us What is our response? He is a Holy God Where is our respect? He is a perfect God Where is our faith? We love Him, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 Love is Enough, Daniel Stay Hungry |
