Psalm 78:41 (NKJV) 41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.
God's word is an opening into the failure of many lives the successes are there, but they are tempered with tremendous struggle. 1 Corinthians 10:11 says, they are "examples," meaning we can observe their lives and how they interacted with God's plan for them and see what He expects of us. The Bible gives us guidance, instruction, and warnings for the life we live in the flesh.
Preparing the servant of the most high God for eternity, is a moment by moment reminder of how we must live, not by natural thinking but heavenly light. John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." The Lord says, He is light, I need that illumination to see His will for me, He also says, "You are the light of the world," Matthew 5:14 (NKJV) by receiving Him (Jesus) into our selves we become light to others.
When we do things our way, we limit God's plan for the world, how can we hinder God, He will not force you and I to do anything against our will. We may choose to do anything we wish, however as with everything we do there are consequences for our sins against God.
Learning from the experiences of others is time honored and once was passed from generation to generation by family ties, there is an enemy destroying the fabric of our family units, it is limiting God's message to others. We must trust Him today with every area of our lives and let the lives of those gone before enrich us with their truth, through Him. How, trust Jesus, tell Him you are a sinner, ask Him to come into your life, He will right the wrong and you will no longer limit God!
Heavenly Father, confusion is in the hearts of many, help us to be light that leads others to You. Let us learn the deep truths that will light the next generation for You. May we learn by the examples You have given and trust You with living? Amen
