For Thursday, July 13, 2023:
Romans 1:22 NLT: “Claiming to be wise, they (those who reject God) instead became utter fools.”
Mankind was made to worship. And if someone rejects the one true God, that person will likely find something else to worship. Then they’ll tell everyone about their new god, their new hero, hoping to be perceived as cutting-edge, wise and innovative. But those who already love the Lord know a fool when they see one!
A person’s rejection of God’s general revelation does not make him smarter or better. In fact, once a person rejects the truth of God in Jesus, he will fall for any foolish thing, and trust far more feeble and fanciful systems than what he rejected from God.
It must sadden God when his presence is made so obvious to mankind, yet some search further. For this God doesn’t dish out vengeance, but he will allow us to suffer the full consequences of choosing the wrong path, the damage to which our sinful course leads.
God created us with the freedom to choose correctly!
