Guilty? Eternally guilty? Whenever God
repeats something He is really trying to teach us something important. God has
repeated this lesson on the Holy Spirit and blasphemy several times. Well—each of
the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke tell us about the consequences of being disrespectful
to the Holy Spirit. Eternal sin—everlasting unforgiveness.
God has taught me a few lessons this way…repeating
scripture passages that just jump off the page at me, several sermons—from different
pastors, and Sunday School or Bible Study classes that all have the same
message. One on forgiveness was particularly memorable—who did I need to
forgive? The Lord specifically told me that, too. Another lesson was on love…and
another on humor. God has a sense of humor. Trust me—God will teach you what He
wants you to know. Are you listening? Is there a pattern to what He is teaching
you on a daily basis?
Prayer
~ Heavenly Father, show me what is important to You. It is important to me,
too. Blasphemy? May it never be. I don’t want to be guilty of blasphemy—particularly
blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Search me and know me that I would be found acceptable
in Your sight. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious
thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the
everlasting way." Psalm 139:23-24. God, Your way is the way I want to live
my life. To serve You—eternally.
