May the mumbling commence!
Harvesting the whirlwind is what we
do when we look for salvation from any other source than the Lord. This truth is spoken about in Hosea chapter
eight. Read a passage from it below:
"O Samaria, I reject this calf – this idol you have made. My fury burns
against you. How long will you be incapable of innocence? This calf you worship was crafted by your own hands! It is not
God! Therefore, it must be smashed to bits.
They
have planted the wind and will harvest the whirlwind. The stalks
of wheat wither, producing no grain. And if there is any grain, foreigners will eat it. The people of Israel have been swallowed up; they lie among the
nations like an old pot that no one
wants.” (Verses 5-8)
We harvest the whirlwind when we
confuse the creation with the Creator.
The whirlwind throws our lives into chaos. There will be nothing to sustain us outside
of the Lord our God. So why go anywhere
else?
If we refuse to return to God, we
will become like a worthless antique – hopelessly outdated and obsolete. May we instead grasp the heart and soul of
the message. In the gospel according to
John, the author makes no secret about what the heart and soul of the gospel
message is. Read about this overarching
purpose from the end of chapter twenty:
Jesus' disciples saw him do many other miraculous signs
besides the ones recorded in this book.
But these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him
you will have life. (Verses 30-31)
Believe in Jesus – who he is and
how he lived… and you will have eternal life.
It’s that simple. Relinquish the whirlwind
and be revived by the breath of God!
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
