Beloved, Malachi 3:8 starts out with a very serious question: “Will a man rob God?” There are many ways God is robbed. Isn’t even thinking about robbing God a scary thought? Well, people rob God all the time. People are being struck down instantly by an angel of the Lord when they don’t give glory to God!!! Many people are dying instantaneously every day for replacing God’s brilliant magnificence with their pride. No one is exempted, NOT royal family, prime ministers, NOR presidents. Beloved, pride is a very serious sin which causes anyone to believe they alone deserve all the credit, robbing the glory from God.
You know, when I read the book of acts, I compare every story or situation with today’s society. Over the years, we’ve come across people with egotistical claims like “I’m the best”, or “I’m the G.O.A.T”. They never acknowledge the One who had given them their gifts and talents. The word is always in reference to “I”. Just like in the enemy in Isaiah 14:12-14 who declared the infamous five “I will’s” of pride. He was cast down from heaven. If this was to occur today to what happened to Herod, it would be terrifying to the snooty, arrogant, self-important, conceited people. So, never test the Lord’s patience and always stay humble. Give God all the glory, honor and praise always because it belongs to Him, and in due season “HE WILL” exalt you – “He’ll open for you the windows of heaven and pour out just for you so many blessing you’ll run out of room to store them.
“To God Be The Glory. Have a blessed Sunday Everyone.” 😀
