This is often the way God rolls

Hello dear friends,

Ps 9:15,16 says, “ The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah

 

First of all, note the word “Selah” It appears most often in the Psalms.

It’s a musical term and it means to rest, or to pause. And The Holy Spirit uses that word to encourage us to pause and consider what we just read or sang.

 

Pay particular attention to the sixteenth verse, and learn a little bit about one of God’s methods of executing justice.  To put it in today’s terminology, “this is the way God rolls.” He, (the Lord)  is widely known (famous) for His execution of justice which can be summed up with these four words, “God gave them over.”

He is known for backing off and allowing sin to take its course.  It.’s like the old saying goes, “you made your bed, now lie in it!” 

 

Let me give you  a couple  of examples: 

 

Somewhere along the line men have, for the most part,  abdicated their God-given responsibility as the spiritual head of the household.  God gave us ample room to repent, but we didn’t,  so God said let me show you where gender confusion leads,”  He backed off,  and it is playing out in front of our very eyes. Our children being mutilated by procedures designed to change their God-given gender.

Here’s another example.

Remember Margarete Sanger? The founder of Planned Parenthood and a champion of birth control and eugenics.  She viewed it as a method to cull the human race of undesirables.  She opened the nation’s first  birth control clinic in 1915, and 15 years later the Anglican church was the first Protestant denomination to officially approve of it. Most other denominations fell like dominos.

 

Again God gave us time to repent but we didn’t and He said, “let me show you where eugenics leads, He backed off and eugenics played out right before our eyes in the rise of Hitler and Russia ”   Did we learn?

 

Nope! And in 1973 abortion became legal in the U.S. Sin, has taken and continues to take its course with over 65 million children created by God  and made in His image have been eliminated.

 

This is a hard and forgotten truth. 

 

But let me remind you, that  the Word of God says,  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

AND,

There is no sin that Jesus didn’t pay for on the cross 1Jo 1:9 assures us  “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
