GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED Wednesday October 21, 2015
Text: Galatians 6:1 – 10 Memory verse: v 7
In
Luke 16:19 – 31, is the story of an unnamed rich man and Lazarus who had sores
all over his body. Lazarus wanted only crumbs from the rich man’s table but the
rich man mocked Lazarus as his dog also came and licked his sores till he died.
Both received their rewards. The rich man by his action against Lazarus mocked
God his creator (Proverbs 14:31; 17:5). Paul warns us in this epistle that we
cannot mock God. Mock is to treat something or somebody with scorn or to mimic
somebody. He compares charity and Christian bounty to seed sown, and assures
us, that the crop we reap shall be answerable, both in quality and kind, and
also in measure and degree, to the seed we sow.
We
sow seeds through our words and deeds. In this seed-time, we should be mindful
of where we sow our seeds. If you sow in the flesh – beauty, sexual
satisfaction, worldly affairs, etc, which are ways of mocking God; we will reap
same at the end (Galatians 6:8). Beloved, do not mock God by taking his words
lightly. Many who tried it are regretting now. Remember Herod, Goliath,
Belshazzar, etc. The worst undoing of your life would be to mock God by
compromising his word. Beware
Food for Thought: Job 13:9.
Prayer: God, grant that I may sow in the spirit so I can reap eternal life.'
