Rebellion

Ever been rebellious? Another way to ask, "Have you ever been disobedient"? I have been MANY times. I am not proud of that fact, but I always try to be honest about things. We are rebellious because we don't want to submit to others, we don't want others "making our decisions". So, we rebel and do things our own way, which usually turns out not exactly as we had hoped but, more than likely, exactly as the one telling us not to do it knew.

Now, rebellion seems to be a natural part of human nature. From the earliest stages of childhood we see rebellion. When we tell our children, our toddlers, not to touch something or not to do something, yet they do it anyway. Then, when you catch them, they always say they didn't do it. Why? Because, we are ashamed of our actions.

Today's word is Psalm 39:8, NLT, which reads, "Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me."

The worst rebellion is that against our Heavenly Father. He wants what is best for us, yet, we rebel against His will, His way, His law, and we suffer the consequences. Often, those consequences are the scorn and ridicule of others. I don't want to let anyone down, especially GOD. I certainly don't want to let Him down by my rebellion, then, bring reproach upon Him and my Christian brothers and sisters. This is what David was praying for.

We have all been rebellious. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD. There is no one alive that is perfect. There is no one alive that does not make mistakes and rebels. I want to be found faithful, and part of being faithful is being obedient. GOD has nothing but my good in mind. He has nothing but your good in mind. Stop the rebellion.

Be Blessed,
