DAY 3 OF 5

DISOBEDIENCE

Disobedience is either the failure or refusal to obey God for whatever reason. This is normally out of rebellion and distrust to God.

Disobedience provokes God’s anger, forfeits His favor and blessings, and brings a curse. Even though a person might return to God after disobedience, the damage often has already been done. We need to remember that obedience after disobedience does not change the consequences of the bad choices made before.

The Bible is filled with examples of people's disobedience and the devastating consequences. Fortunately, people can always repent and choose obedience, such as David's reaction to Nathan pointing out his disobedience in having an affair with Uriah's wife and then having Uriah killed (II Samuel 11 and 12). Even after repentance, consequences still follow, such as the loss of the life of David's child (II Samuel 12:15-19).

Have you thought of solution to disobedience? There is no short cut and obedience is the only solution! The disobedience of one man (Adam) brought separation from God, but the obedience of one man (Jesus) saved many (Romans 5:19).
