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? A
heavy Sunday Thought, I know, but peace…Pastor Keith
