I say that this is shown, in Scripture to be the saddest state of a man, upon the earth. One who hasn't listened to the gossip about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Don't tell me he had't heard about the God of Heaven and Earth. He had suppressed the truth in unrighteousness.
God's name is worthy to be praised and our sins have distanced us so much that if we studied His actions everyday we would still be ignorant. Bow the knee, is the only right response of one in such a delicate spiritual state. He is stealing the glory from God, daily and yet breathing God's air and he fixes his mouth to say, Who? Don't we do the same in our ignorance? Why should I regard God's commandments? Why should I obey what God told me to do? Who is God, that His claims should have authority in my life? We say it everytime that we contemplate disobeying and walk away from the commands of God. Preachers and Sunday-school teachers load our consciences with strength against our disobedience and we still forget. Who will deliver us from the body of this death.Let us be those who repent of our self-willed Pharaoh worship of independence. Let us be those whose portion it is to make His praise glorious by our obedience and submission to God's infinite condescencion. Help us Lord to learn from the pride of Pharaoh and worship You in Spirit and Truth, because of the sacrifice of Christ and His pursuit of unworthy high-minded humanity. We need Your Help, Lord to keep from putting our own wills first. In Jesus' Name. Amen Thank You God that You have a purpose for Paupers and Potentates in Christ. You humble the proud and you exalt the humble! We are not closed out from Your grace, because of our inherited position. Our attitude to Your Word is the sieve. Do we say, like Pharaoh, Who is the Lord? or do we bow the knee? Help us, Lord to be included in the beloved! Exodus 5
