PAYING THE PRICE

"They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate
regarding life.
(Romans 1:22 MSG)   


Yesterday a man than I have known for over forty years
stopped by to visit.  I had not talked with him for several
years.  What a change.

There had been a family tragedy about thirteen or fourteen
years ago.  It has totally eaten him up.  He still is completely
consumed by it to the point that he is not mentally stable, at
least when on that subject.  It was unbelievable to me.

When wondering "why Lord", God reminded me of earlier
times with this man.  I well remember things coming up 
in Sunday School class that the Bible speaks very clearly 
about.  But this man's position would be, "But I think..."

This man was putting his thinking above what God almighty
was saying.  Watching his life over the past forty years Iv'e
seen him do a number of things his way - instead of God's
way.  It looks like God has just let him go his own way, 
and now he paying the price for it.

Consider this passage:

"Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God,
God quit bothering them and let them run loose."
(Romans 1:28 MSG)
