Willfully Blind

 

Today's verse is 2 Timothy 4:4

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

    You may wonder, why cannot “they” see what is plainly set before them? Here we have the answer, because they have rejected the God of Heaven and Earth, the maker of them and all that is therein, not wanting to know the truth, as Paul as testified here, they have chosen not to listen. Yet, we have already been told, and we have already considered how we ought to interact with them. We are to constantly seek that which is true, and knowing the truth, we are to speak to them in meekness (that is from a position of strength, but with gentleness) in the hopes that the God that hates the death of the wicked will speak to them, opening up their hearts to hear of his Love for them, that they might choose then to Repent, Confessing Jesus Christ as Lord, being made new from his resurrection from the dead. So, be patient, knowing that our God and King is on the Throne, and he has set forth the time when his Wrath will burn up all those that have rejected the truth. Amen.

To God be the Glory
