Knowing God, But Not Obeying.

 

Today's Verse is 1 Kings 20:13

And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 

    There is a cry about from those that know not God of why He does not show Himself. Here in this passage, we have an example of a man that God showed Himself to, and what does he do afterward? He demands that another man give up the inheritance which God had given him. (Notice how Ahab, appeared to be willing to give up his wives and children for the sake of keeping peace.) And thus was Ahab judged and sentence passed. I do believe this is part of the reason God hides himself from those that do not wish to hear the truth, because if He is known, the punishment must also be greater. Do you Know the Lord, do you labour to enter into His Rest, can others see your Love for him by your actions? As James has told us, Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Ahab knew who God was, and yet he still disobeyed, will you do the same, or will you purpose in your heart to Follow Him that is Faithfull? Amen.

To God be the Glory
