Scripture: "...[Israel's] adversaries have said, ‘We are not guilty, Inasmuch as they [Israel] have sinned against the Lord who is the habitation of righteousness..."(Jeremiah 50:7) NASB “Because you are glad, because you are jubilant, O you who pillage My heritage [Israel]...Your mother will be greatly ashamed...will be humiliated. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, A wilderness, a parched land and a desert." (Jeremiah 50:11-12) NASB Application: "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right." (Abraham Lincoln) I admit that when I look at history and see nations declaring that they are doing what is right when they invade, plunder, attack, and destroy, I sometimes wonder, "were they really doing the work of God?" All nations self-justify, and even pagan nations will use God's name to say they were right. The Bible proves this isn't new. But this self-justification is often self-delusion. Resist violence. Resist war. Those who don't will meet God's wrath. Prayer: Lord, I pray that we will get on the always right side: God's side. Comments are closed.
