"God's Grief"
Genesis 6:5-6
"Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and
that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The
Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and he was grieved in his
heart."
I am not totally sure why this
passage of scripture moved me to tears today. Maybe for my part in grieving
God. Maybe because of the condition of the world because if the wickedness of
humanity. Maybe because of my sorrow for stuff I have started and regretted.
Maybe my tears are gratefulness for God's grace in my life, or the mercy I have
been shown. Probably the accumulative effect of all those things I thought.
But, I honestly remember the moment I was moved to tears as I read. I was
convicted that I could grieve God in His heart because of what my heart is
capable of on any given day. So today, because of His grace, Lord, give me
strength and resolve to not grieve God and to continually surrender my heart. I
would like to just not be as much trouble today. So sorry for any grief I add
to what goes on in this world.
Lord forgive me. How
about you?
Pastor Fred
