Leviticus 26:14-26
THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISOBEDIENCE
...if you reject my decrees...I will bring upon you sudden terror... Leviticus 26:15-16, NIV
As we learnt yesterday, there is always a consequence for disobedience. Sometimes, the excuses we give for not obeying might seem tenable to us, but the truth is: God does not lower His standard for anyone. Just as there are benefits for obedience, punishments await anyone who disobeys.
Today's passage highlights some of these consequences. God categorically states that whoever chooses not to obey will experience sudden terror, terrible diseases, famine and denial of access into His presence. Like David said, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. It is better to be on the Lord's side than to face Him from the other side.
Search your heart and commit your life to God afresh today. Ask Him for the grace to always obey Him. Nobody can cope with the sudden terror that comes from disobedience to God.
Beloved, it is safer and better to be for God than to be against Him. The Lord will help you.

It is a great deal easier to do that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is, than to face the responsibilities of not doing it. – B. J. Miller
