Thursday Devotional - God is With Us in our Disgust 6/2/22

 I walked into work the other day and someone shared how disturbed they were to hear all the terrible news in the world. They said it was especially difficult to hear and see about children being harmed. I agreed.

God is disgusted, too. I was able to share that I just re-read Matthew 18:5-7

⁵ And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. ⁶ “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. ⁷ Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

I said I know God will bring justice. We often want it immediately, but He will bring it in His time.

However disgusted or appalled you and I are, we can be assured God is even more disgusted. We can trust His timing to rightly judge.
