God’s Word And Daily Prayer For Today

In this scripture, I think we can capsulize the wisdom intended for humanity and particularly the people of God, by applying another scripture; which compounds the love of God, and that is: Galatians 6:7, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Also, we can not walk as other gentiles walk; in the vanity of there mind.

Selfishness can produce an unhealthy and harmful attitude. From this divine demonstration of compassion let us learn that the most effective way to perform the tasks set before us each is to simply follow instructions. And let’s be prudent enough to follow God’s instructions learned from the word of God by the directions of God’s spirit.

God said then and we can believe that he is saying now; because he is God that cannot change; woe to the heathen or nonbelievers that won’t or don’t try to help the believer in a time of distress, but take advantage of the believer and mock them with boasting and bragging God is coming for you. He is going to exact upon the nonbelievers that laughed at the calamity of the believers justice; by bringing them down and taking from them that that caused them to have such a negative bragging attitude. God delivered his people then as he is going to do even now; for in Mt Zion (the church) shall be deliverance.

The wisdom and understanding that the people of God were warned about then is the same that we should give heed to Today. That is don’t think that just because God has allowed for much prosperity in life the prosperous believer is still required to conduct their lives in humility, compliance to scripture, and reverence for God. God hates even a proud look. Therefore, we should not be as non-believers, praising God in our worship services and live contrary otherwise. Only God knows the heart of man. Let’s be real and honest; we can never fool God. Look at the world, the USA, the states, the counties, the cities, the towns, the communities, the neighborhoods, our homes and see God at work; because of disrespect and disobedience.

Here we learn of God's judgments in the latter days; and the extent of these judgments. The prophet declares how God is going to exact justice upon those that took advantage of God’s people. He foresees the blessings God’s people, the church shall enjoy.

We learn from this event in biblical history how when God has grown weary of tolerating rebellion and disobedience that he takes action. The controversy or argument that God had then and still today is that those that announce themselves as God’s representatives in the earth give greater heed to rudiments of the world and secular wisdom than adhering to God’s plan for his people. Therefore, God did then and is now bringing his indignation upon his people and making sure that the spiritual leaders understand that the people fail because they are failing to feed his people with knowledge and understanding.

Daniel’s vision: Here we come to understand to some degree, metaphors and symbolism. God allowed Daniel to see destruction coming upon his people and his church. Principalities and Powers (Government leaders and church leaders) are corrupt and take advantage of the righteous people of God by forcing or compelling them to believe a lie and not the truth of God’s desire for humanity. Daniel saw the destruction and calamity that was to destroy many; it was too much; he fainted. Look at the world today. Daniel saw trouble, tribulation, wickedness, deceit, lies, etc., coming upon the people caused by corrupt spiritual and secular leaders. as it is upon the world today.

Ezekiel is taken out into the spirit by the Lord, to show him the abominations, the rebellion, the disobedience, and the idolatry of his chosen people. We should learn the just recompense of the Lord for the idol worship, rebellion, and disobedience. In my humble opinion, the many devastating things that are taking place today, like the extreme inclement weather, the unexplainable fires, the senseless gun violence, etc; are the results of God’s displeasure with His people.

This portion of scripture epitomizes what was wrong and what is wrong today with the people of God and that is, we are too reactive, as opposed to being more proactive, when it comes to our obedience to God and His plan of salvation for humanity. There is an old adage that seems to be applicable here: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

Here we should learn that God was very displeased with His people. As then, even now, the people of God gradually move away from His instructions. Disobedience provoked God then and now, to bring adversity of one sort or another into the lives of His people. God reminded His people then of the great blessings He put in their lives and also now by these scriptures how He has been ignored and transgressions increase.
