Checking into Gods Presence...
How do you intend to spend the today when you look at the day before? Summarily, have you been exceptionally good or bad in your Christian Faith journey? Let me remind you about King Herod the Great King.
Although he was a king with stature, the Bible described him as a jealous King who was so insecure that the birth of new born babies tormented him. Ordinarily, the birth of new born babies should not usually strike fear into people's heart.
But it did on King Herod because he wanted to maintain his viceroy-like grip on authority, then ordered the massacre of all the children in Bethlehem who were two years old. His regime as a king was therefore noted as a bad one. (Matthew 2:3)
Pharaoh was also a King whose reign in Egypt came to an abrupt end when he refused to allow the Israelites to go out of Egypt peacefully. His end categorized the stubbornness in his unsteady dealings in the administration of his regime with the people of Israel. (Exodus 7:16)
And his reign indeed was snuffed out because of so many errors of judgment. Haman was a counsellor of Ahasuerus in the Book of Esther who stands head and shoulders above the rest of his peers in the King's mind.
Armed with an indictment and a proposal, he approached the King to castigate the Jews, naming them rebels before King Ahasuerus because of hatred and jealousies. Haman eventually became cornered with his plot and he died as a result. (Esther 4:1-17)
In all the three scenarios, there was a shift away from the ordinances of God according to (Proverbs 6:16-19) "There are six things the Lordhates— no, seven things he detests: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, 18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family."
So on this mercy day, what steps are you going to take? Is it a step capable of granting you peace or that which can draw people into perdition and the wrought of God?
As we step into this mercy day, may the grace of God lead us and take our feet away from any unrighteous path in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
