Psalm 68

Good Morning “Accepters, NOT Rejectors.”  Today we are in Psalm 68.

God desires that the nations hear about Him, are shown example of lives changed by Him, and in turn choose to leave their Pagan ways and follow Him.  He made that clear through Psalm 66 and 67.  

Jesus paid a price we never could!  We must choose to turn from our flesh and toward Him, receiving His free gift of grace.  Paul describes the process to the church in Ephesus. “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We are reminded in Psalm 68 that many will STILL reject Gods Grace.  
I’m always astounded at those who reject Jesus yet curse God because He doesn’t bless them.  It’s quite illogical.  They deny God while blaming Him for the suffering we see in our world - suffering brought on by the very sin that rejects Him.  Frankly rejecting the grace of Jesus and choosing to embrace sin and one’s default eternal destination is ludicrous… but many choose exactly that.  Salvation comes only to those who would repent, believe in Him and receive His grace and mercy.  The rebellious should fear His presence, but the righteous will be glad at His return!  

What about you, are you are an accepter or a rejector?  Love you all!  Dig in!
