THOSE WHO FIND OUT THE TRUTH VERY LATE
Luke 17:27, KJV
"They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
Yesterday, you saw God's love expressed through His mercy. This is brought home by how God gives notifications to the community of saints before events - especially marauding ones come.
The Bible says in Proverbs 22:3, "A prudent man foresees the evil and he hides himself but the simple passes on and are punished."
What you do or that you don't do has its consequences. Don't think it'll come without a cost if what you should have escaped corners you, even after having been warned.
Look at the verse for today. We read that men and women continued to do their usual businesses, not changing their ways or minding their steps. They rather indulged in the same old customs and continued life - thinking it's normal to do so.
Matthew 24:38, KJV
"For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark."
Not one of them foresaw the danger of continuing to "eat and drink", "marrying and giving out in marriage." Noah shouted. He announced the coming flood but they just refused to believe it.
God will speak but obedience resides with you. Many people will say, "I didn't obey because I didn't know." What do you have to say about these people? They heard! They even saw the evidence of the coming flood - the ark being built. All the same, no change of ways or attitude.
The Bible says they were proven supposedly to be right until Noah entered the ship. There are things that we don't have to debate for long with ourselves. I want to believe Noah didn't argue with them when they said no flood would come. He just went on building the ark. The same flood that proves him right is what proves them wrong.
Wise people foresee the evil. They see the coming or foretold danger. They don't wait to confirm it in the event happening without taking shelter. If you always want to wait to confirm before you believe and take action, you may lose your life like these people we're reading about. Some might have thought there would be a late hour escape. They could have told Noah, "We shall see if the rain will come. Then, we shall join you." But the Bible tells us it is the Lord who shuts the door (Gen. 7:16).
When Noah and his household were shut in, these disobedient people were shut out. They never felt the repercussions until Noah entered the ark. Who has spoken? If it is God, it'll happen. Do away with not believing. Many unbelievable things will still hit our world, may you be humble enough to obey God to your saving.
May you not discover the truth very very late.
Noah looked foolish for years but everything was "until Noah entered the ark..."
Don't wait to see the separation of the disobedient from the obedient. Ensure you're on the right side.
PRAYER: Lord, I shall not regret my actions. Open my eyes to my areas of disobedience that I may repent on time.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 9:1–10:22, Luke 8:4–21, Psalm 69:19–36, Proverbs 12:2–3
