March 10- How Long Will People Rebel?

Numbers 14:1-15:16
Mark 14:53-72
Psalm 53:1-6
Proverbs 11:4

How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them?

The problem with us (people in general), is that we never seem to get the point. God is calling us to a higher standard. He wants more out of us. However, rebellion is way too easy. I don't know about you, but I've seen the miracles, I know the stories, and I've experienced the good life. So, why is it that daily I struggle to do the right thing? On so many levels and in so many ways, God calls us to obedience to him. God is calling his people to a life of belief and trust. Why do we choose rebellion? Probably just pure selfishness I guess. However, we must assume that at some point, our decisions to follow selfish desires will lead us to a decision to totally rebel against God and never come home.

So, we turn to him today. We call on his name and pray for his change in our lives.
