Mocking God?



Mocking God, who me? Never! To mock God is to pretend to love and serve Him when we do not, or to act in a false manner, to be insincere and hypocritical in our professions. Consider this: Confessing sin without remorse isn’t that mocking God? Could we be mocking God in our prayers, like when we are all formal, rote or fluffy? Or, when we pray for things without thinking about what we say – we just blah blah blah? None of us would ever mock God at the Communion table would we? I think we do, especially when we come to the table of the Lord as a mere matter of form; or, when we come with hostility and aggression in our hearts towards any of our brethren, friends or colleagues. Isn’t that mocking God, too? So let me ask you, how is it with you, are you honest with God? Or is your relationship with Him, well, been a mockery?
