Fair God, Unfair People!

Friday's Devotion (4-25-03)

"As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly." Proverbs 26:11 (KJV)

Sometimes I'll find myself being pretty foolish. I've been doing better lately, when I realize something isn't right, I'll quit doing it. Sometimes we find ourselves being like the dog, who returns to his vomit. We return to our folly, just like the dog does to his vomit. We're a lot like the dog in this sense, the dog doesn't only return to the vomit, but he eats it up. Just like when we return to our folly, we eat it up, we love it, so much. I think this is a problem everyone has, at one time or another. We'll do things that we know aren't right and we'll keep going and doing it again. I'm glad our God, is so forgiving. We do things that hurt the Lord, then we ask for forgiveness and He forgives us. But the sad thing is a lot of times we go and put Him through that same pain over and over again. Our God, is fair, but we're not too fair to Him. I think we all need to be more careful and try to be sensitive to God's feelings and do what's right. Something that seems harmless and small to us, hurts God, a great deal. Let's say a prayer together.

Dear Heavenly Father, I'm sorry for what I put you through. I'm sorry that I keep doing the same sins over and over again. I ask for your forgiveness, even though I don't deserve it. I thank you, for being merciful and forgiving. Please change me and make me into your image. Help me not to put you through, all that I do. Help me not to be like the dog that returns to his vomit. Thank you, for being here for me, even though I hurt you so much. In Jesus, name. A-men!

God bless!
