Today’s Thought “An Early Resolution” G.Ward

“When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.” Ecclesiastes 5:4

 

Do you really believe that if Holy God said it, He meant it? Moreover, are you more insightful about this merciful God than analyzing (introspectively) blatant disconnect from man?

Merciful, Holy God doesn’t exist on His holy hill with this tolerance in liberality concerning man’s vow unto Himself. He expects that if you say you love Him and desire dedicating your life unto Him, you’ll diligently pursue His righteousness (cf. Heb.11:6, 1 Jn.5:3); otherwise, there is no special pardoning.

This dispensational era of grace forgets Him as Judge as they surrender very little unto Him who desires to change (entirely so) their lives (2 Cor.5:17). The many worship centers are filled with mediocre practitioners of truth. They more extrapolate from a worldly view that demands most go to heaven, while terribly inconsistent in attendance (Heb.10:25). Furthermore, their mouths echo great cadent chants of “How I Love Jesus” with absolutely no regimen in intimacy with Him (cf.Mk.1:35, 2 Ti.2:15).

Here’s the beauty, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Pe.3:9). Oh, I’m sorry, you do realize that true repentance resolves itself to never re-visit prior iniquity (cf. Ro.7:14-15, 1 Jn. 1:8-9)?

Happy Wednesday!
