Today's meditation is taken from:

THE GIFT OF HOLY HATRED
by Chip Brogden


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"I hate your show and pretense - your hypocrisy of 'honoring' Me with
your religious feasts and solemn assemblies. I will not accept your
burnt offerings and thank offerings. I will not look at your
offerings of peace. Away with your hymns of praise - they are mere
noise to My ears. I will not listen to Your music, no matter how
lovely it is" (Amos 5:21-23, Living Bible).
 
I want to be a blessing and a delight to the Lord. I do not want to
grieve Him. What about you? Friends, we need to find out what the
Lord loves and what the Lord hates. It would be better for us to
cancel everything and just lay face-down in the dirt than to shuffle
through yet another church "service" and run the risk of grieving God
yet again. We have a responsibility to find out what the Lord loves
and what the Lord hates; what is acceptable to Him, and what is
unacceptable. It is vain to continually ask Him to bless the thing He
is disgusted by. It is a waste of time.
