Scripture

1 Chronicles 15:1-16:36; Romans 1:18-32; Psalm 10:1-15; Proverbs 19:6-7.

Observation

The NT reading in Romans spoke to me today. Romans 1:20,

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”

Romans 1:25,

“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator – who is forever praised. Amen.”

And finally, Romans 1:30-32 – speaking of the callous, sinful generation that God has given over to its own lusts and depravity:

“…they invent ways of doing evil. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, and ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”

Application

It’s a scary thing when God gives us over to ourselves. The horrible part about sin is that it makes us callous – it desensitizes us to the things of God. The further we get away from the truth of God’s Word the more we lose our moorings.

Prayer

“Lord, keep me in Your Word. May I never lose my hunger for Your truth. Cleanse me through Your Word. Renew & transform my mind and heart.”
