\nMalachi 2:17\u00a0 <\/span>You have wearied the Lord with your words. But you say, \u201cHow have we wearied him?\u201d By saying, \u201cEveryone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.\u201d Or by asking, \u201cWhere is the God of justice?\u201d<\/p>\n

Psalms 95:9-10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.\u00a0\u00a0For forty years I loathed that generation and said, \u201cThey are a people who go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaiah 43:24<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 15:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0You have rejected me, declares the LORD; you keep going backward, so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you\u2014 I am weary of relenting.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 16:43<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things, therefore, behold, I have returned your deeds upon your head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed lewdness in addition to all your abominations?<\/p>\n

Psalms 73:3-15<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.\u00a0\u00a0For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek.\u00a0\u00a0They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.\u00a0\u00a0Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment.\u00a0\u00a0Their eyes swell out through fatness; their hearts overflow with follies.\u00a0\u00a0They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression\u00a0\u00a0They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth.\u00a0\u00a0Therefore his people turn back to them, and find no fault in them.\u00a0\u00a0And they say, \u201cHow can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 8:11<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you ever wonder if we are just continually asking things of God and forgetting to honor, worship, and glorify Him?\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t get me wrong it is good to seek the Lord with all those troubles and concerns that affect us or the ones we love.\u00a0 <\/span>Is it possible in all of this asking we lose sight of honor, glory, and praise to Jesus Christ?\u00a0 <\/span>Do we weary Jesus with this continual asking and minimal praise and worship?\u00a0 <\/span>Do we spend enough time in His Word to know of His greatness, power, knowledge, wisdom, might, grace, mercy, and love?\u00a0 <\/span>Do we spend enough time in His Word so that we recognize that which is worldly and that which is holy, true, just, and right?\u00a0 <\/span>Do we put God\u2019s patience to test by confusing worldly cultural beliefs with those of God?\u00a0 <\/span>Is our heart astray? Are we always going backward? Are we calling evil good?\u00a0 <\/span>Think about this.\u00a0 <\/span>Many across our country approve of abortion, protest riots and looting, gay lifestyle, pornography, gay marriage, etc\u2026.. Is our country going backward?\u00a0 <\/span>Have our leaders abandoned Jesus Christ? Has our country become ice-cold to Jesus Christ?\u00a0 <\/span>There can be no compromise in our hearts and minds.\u00a0 <\/span>There cannot be room for the cultural beliefs of what is right and wrong to coexist with things of God.\u00a0 <\/span>Our foundation, rock, and steadfast truth are found in the Word of God, Jesus Christ’s redemption, and the indwelling Holy Spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>When we neglect God\u2019s Word, deny honor and worship to Jesus Christ, and resist the Holy Spirit\u2019s leading, that which is worldly is given space to root and it will easily confuse us in our understanding of what is right and wrong.\u00a0 <\/span>Just take a good look at what people are calling right and wrong right now and compare it with the Word of God and what it calls right and wrong.\u00a0 <\/span>We will do well to continually worship, honor, praise, and glorify Jesus Christ, studying His Word, and following, trusting, obeying, and relying on Him every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
