Bible Reading: Romans 10: 18 - 21
Topic: Have You Not Heard? Have You
Not Known?
The text shows Israel
loved and cared for by God, yet they continued in their rebellion and were
distant from God's open Arms.
They seemed to have
forgotten the past wonders of God in dealing with them.
Despite the fact that God
had delivered them from the Egyptian captivity, fought their battles, provided
for them on the way and led them to the Promised land, Israel would not
faithfully and diligently seek God instead Israel as a special people had
continued to provoke God in their sinfulness.
Paul tries to bring to our
notice how God had dealt with the Israelites, each time they disobeyed Him, so
as to warn us (Christians) about the danger of not obeying the Word of God.
The Scriptures tell us how
the people of Israel provoked God and were defeated by a small town called Ai
(Josh. 7: 1 - 5); how God allowed King Nebuchadnezzar to capture Judah (2 Chr.
36: 15 - 21), and how God spoke to Balaam through the mouth of a horse (Num.
22: 22 - 28)
Have we not heard enough?
Have we not heard this same God speaking today?
We should flee from sin and listen to God's instructions and submit ourselves
to Him in total obedience.
Prayer
God help us hear and know
Your Words, as they speak and make impact each day in our lives, Amen.
Memory Verse Rom. 10: 18
"But I say, have they
not heard? Yes, verily their sound went into all the earth; and their words
unto the ends of the world."
