Dangers Of Deliberately Believing Lies. Part [4] 04/17/2024 (Morning thought)

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

When Naaman was sick with leprosy, he was told to dip in the Jordan seven times and after he would be healed. He could choose to believe it or not, and he could even dip with doubts, as to whether it would be fulfilled, but the facts are the facts and even if he were to dip kicking and screaming, after the 7thtime he would be healed.

What is worthy of note in that particular episode is that Naaman had displayed a very bad attitude in so much that he became enraged at the prophet, but the facts are the facts, and even if he obeys in anger he would be healed. But if he were to flatter himself that six dips were enough, he would remain leprous for the rest of his life.

Very often there are nuances in obedience, such as hesitation, fear, doubt, dread, sadness, or vexation. Sometimes there are also issues such as hesitation, personal preferences, and instances where one may not necessarily agree with God. All of these do not change the facts on the ground, as far as the truth is concerned.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
