April 1st's reading

I wanted to post this on Wednesday...

Did anybody else get that feeling of "aaaahhh" when David's name was mentioned, and God finally mentioned. That after all of this time of Gods people wandering around and living in sin, God finally brings about this young man who loves Him and wants to serve Him.

I don't know about you, but after reading about how Gods people went back in forth in their obedience, I was starting to get a little depressed. The sad thing is to know how God felt about being abandoned by His own people. Think of it like this.... What if you had a "significant other" who constantly said, "I love you, please be with me", and then the next thing you know - they're cheating on you... Only to come back to you later and say "oh please forgive me!! And please be with me again!!"... Only to be forgiven and accepted again! And then to be abandoned again! I don't know about you, but I'd get pretty hurt and feel pretty unloved...

This is not only the Israelites, but us when we choose to live in sin. God gets hurt when we go back and forth from living for and loving him, and then living for and loving ourselves... I want to encourage everybody to take a look at our hearts and make any changes necessary in order to live a life that is completely devoted to God, and not have a wishy washy, back and forth type relationship with God. Sin is useless and will never satisfy our desires. God is the only one that will fully satisfy us; Satan just wants us to believe that our sinful nature will satisfy us... It's a lie!
