❤️I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.❤️
“But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels. “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!--Psalm 81:10-13
Here is God's heart for each of us. He wants us to find our full satisfaction in Him. Open your mouth wide and He will fill it. Only God can satisfy the longing in our hearts. But the Israelites (like us), thought they knew better. God's response was to let them walk in their own counsels. The following are to my mind some of the scariest words in all of Scripture.
So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.
The word "gave" in the Greek has the meaning of to deliver up one into custody, to be judged, condemned, punished, scourged, tormented, put to death. It is the wrath of abandonment. God will abandon man when he consistently abandons Him. He will remove His hand of restraint and give him over to eat the fruit of his own ways. He will allow his sin to run its natural course which will end in death.
Beloved…God wants you to find your complete satisfaction in Him in total surrender to His will. He wants to be your portion. He will allow us to go our own way but of course it is always at our own risk...our own peril. There is a way that seems right to man but its end is the way of death. Open your heart to Him today...
