They desperately want to outsmart God. Mocking Him, not comprehending they are challenging the God who made them. Blindly following some whim to overcome the only being who loves them enough to be long suffering that they would take seriously His command against Sin.
Though I feel for them, God is more than capable of dealing with all within His creation. My job is to be an example of that which God is offering every human, the opportunity to be forgiven and have relationship with the Sovereign Creator of the universe and through this gift spend eternity in His presence.
Saddening that they cannot find value in this gift. Maddening that they would consider comedic chastisement of those that have found relationship with God as somehow a win. This is the contortion of man’s mind locating a placing investment as value or even well thought idea that victory may be found in wrestling with God.
How many centuries have they sought to prove this tactic? As millennia pass every person that challenges God loses, yet oddly we fail to reckon history. It is laughable the repetitive calamity that is man. Worse them whack a mole we seem determined to spend eternity separated from our making, simply to prove ourselves worthy of a rye laugh at the expense of our Father.
This is when we must admit that we are no longer of the same family, that their Father by choice, practice and proclamation is the enemy of God. They have no reverent Fear of God. It will always be their undoing and worse yet they feel compelled to take their madness out on those who enjoy obedience to someone sweeten their insanity. I invite them to prayer and the fact that they avoid or decline compels us to see the awful truth in their predicament.
