Yesterday in our home fellowship meeting I was encouraged through a message on the subject of mockery. Here are the scripture that stood out to me:
2 Kings 2:19-25 speaks about some youth who mocked Elisha for healing some bad water, and then we see the consequences of their mockery as Elisha turned and pronounced a curse on them and two female cubs came out of the woods and mauled them ( v 23 and 24).
Proverbs 19:29 Judgements are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the back of fools
These verses were convicting to my heart, causing me to realize that I have been guilty of mocking God in the things I've had difficulty understanding as of lately. The Lords loving rebuke through the hearing the word brought to my attention my pride and arrogance against him when I make fun of what I don't understand. I take comfort that what is impossible for men is possible with God i.e. all things!
May you all have a blessed and enouraging evening Amen!
-Dana
