The Kindness Of God

Sunday September 10, 2017

When we have admitted to ourselves and another human being the harm we have caused in our rebellious lifestyle, the next step is to ask God to redeem us from our self-centered way of living.  We need to be renewed in our thinking and believing about following the ways of God rather than living and doing what is right in our own eyes.

We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.  When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.  Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his mighty power known.  He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.  He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.  The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.  Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.  (Psalm 106:6-12 NIV)

The effects of nations not choosing to uphold the ways of the one true God are visible all around us.  Pride rules in the hearts of mankind and we humans have come to believe that we know better than our Creator what is best for us.  Some of us may choose to believe that God does not exist and is only a crutch for the weak.  Some of us may choose to believe that the ways of God will not lead to a meaningful, purposeful life.  God has dealt with these thoughts and beliefs in the scriptures written in the Bible. 

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.  (Hebrews 11:6 NIV)

The love and kindness of God is available to all who surrender their will and life to Him.  Are we truly willing to believe and receive?



Prayer:  Loving God, I want to believe You are real and trust You with all my heart.  Please help me to remember Your love and kindness towards me so I may joyfully follow You in all I do.  Amen
