Blatant Disregard For God….

When I see people’s blatant disregard for God I always wondered how God felt about it. Here in Ezekiel chapter 36, we get a glimpse of God’s response to those who oppose Him, by showing His people pure disrespect. When people abuse or take advantage of God’s people, He sees to it that they are paid back with the same methods, but with greater intensity. I guess this is what Hebrews 10:31 means when it says, “it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God”. I guess the point that needs to be made is that when anyone gleefully abuses or takes advantage of God’s people, it reveals their contempt for God Himself. This is just one more reason to be on God’s side, and remember that when He takes vengeance, it’s 100% deserved, justified, and thoroughly investigated to completeness. You are either for God, or against Him. There’s no other options, including sitting on the fence and watching. Just because we live in a modern society, and post-OT biblical view (with many churches confusing grace with conviction) doesn’t change how God deals with evil, especially evil done to His Own people. God will always repay evil with justice. Leave vengeance to God. It’s His job alone.

5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My jealous anger burns against these nations, especially Edom, because they have shown utter contempt for Me by gleefully taking My land for themselves as plunder.6 “Therefore, prophesy to the hills and mountains, the ravines and valleys of Israel. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am furious that you have suffered shame before the surrounding nations. 7 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I have taken a solemn oath that those nations will soon have their own shame to endure. Ezekiel 36:5-7
