2 Chronicles 24:20 "And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you."
There are many things in the Bible that are simple, yet not easy. God makes it very plain and simple in His Word the things we must do to have true success. Yet those things often go completely against our flesh and sin nature. Therefore, though they are simple they are not easy to do.
God has given commandments in His Word and very often these commandments come with promises attached. Fulfill the commandments and blessings will follow. Transgress the commandments and suffering will follow. Simple, yet not easy.
Everyone of us has a desire to prosper. There is no one on this earth who desires to fail. Yet even when the choice is clear, we choose our own way, we choose sin, which we know will lead to failure. Why would we choose to transgress His commandments when we know this will not allow us to prosper? A question to ponder today.
