Little Known Dangers
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused
his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till
there was no remedy. - 2 Chronicles 36:16.
In December 1998 Kevin Mackle a 19-year-old student in Quebec tried to shake
loose a soft drink. Instead of receiving a soft drink Kevin was crushed to
death when the 920-pound machine tipped over on to him. Who would have
thought that a coke machine would be dangerous! But since 1978, 35 people
have died in the United States alone from vending machines, which have
tipped over.
The people of Judah must have been just as incredulous about the danger
involved in ignoring God. Judgment did come upon them in a devastating way
when they were carried into captivity. Who would have thought that God was
that serious about it. But He was and He still is serious about it.
Do you despise God’s Words? Do you mock or misuse the messengers of God? Why
would anyone want to do that? We despise God’s Words when we know what He
wants us to do but we do something else with our lives. We mock God’s
messengers when we hear the Word of God preached and fail to respond as God
has spoken to our hearts. Little known dangers but spiritually just as
dangerous as a falling coke machine.
Judah waited so long that they ran out of time and God’s judgment came upon
them. Why risk another day outside of God’s will? Determine in your heart
that you will no longer despise God by the way you live your life. “Behold,
now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).”
