ENOUGH TO HANG YOURSELF
'Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them.' Romans 1:24
We have all heard that expression 'enough rope to hang yourself' and even with God that can in fact happen. God will step back and with no interference from Him allow people to pursue the desires of their heart, not the desires of our Lord.
A story most of us are familiar with is the man in the storm who ended up on his roof with the waters rising. God sent a truck, a boat, and finally a helicopter but the man stayed put believing God would save him. One of my sayings is I have faith in God to protect me but I am not going to step in front of a 18-wheeler. I watch some of our thrill seekers in the world today. Trying to see how much further they can go with their next thrill.
Whether it is a thrill man is after, or lust of the heart, God is a good God and will be there for us until our foolishness becomes more important then our relationship with Him. How can we, even being saved, continue in sin or foolishness expecting God to save us no matter what we do?
God will give us over. Think about that. God will give us over.
God Bless
