September 7, 2011 (2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 36; Jeremiah 40-41; Revelation 12)
From the Life Journal of Adam Proux:
Scripture: “but they continually mocked the messengers of God, despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until there was no remedy.” 2 Chronicles 36:16 NASB
Observation: These were people that just could’nt believe God was going to do all His prophets were proclaiming. They mocked the prophets and laughed at them, said surely they are insane. They despised the word of God and cast it aside as waste. They brought God’s wrath upon themselves by rejecting the God of Heaven. Eventually their was no remedy.
Application: The messengers of God are still mocked and scoffed at today as well. History has a cruel way of repeating it’s self. We should recognize the signs of the times but we are blinded by the darkness we walk in. God’s word is despised today just as much as it was then. We hear God’s word but refuse to heed His word. Therefore we have made it waste. The day will come when many people cry out in anguish but no remedy will be found.
Prayer: Father, help us to see You! Open our eyes to the repentance that is required. Save us from the destruction we bring upon ourselves. Cause our eyes to see the value of Your word before it’s too late. Strengthen those who speak for You, give them courage and boldness to proclaim the message You’ve provided. Jesus is our only remedy, send Him to us today, in Jesus name, Amen!
