"Unjustifiable"

"Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, and had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven." (Psalms 78:21-24) Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't! I don't know why I said that, except it just come into my head; kind of like what Paul was saying in yesterday's closing Scripture, as long as you're controlled by the love of Christ, it's all good! I just could not break up these verses, because they explain why God was angry and why Israel had no right not to believe God, nor trust in His salvation; neither do we! If we have any doubt whatsoever in God's intentions or His capabilities, it's our own fault, it's not God's fault for not showing us the truth. God has given us everything we need to believe in and trust in Him; if we lack what it takes, then it is because we have not put all of our trust in Him, and we have not completely committed our lives to believing in Him. I know that sounds pretty strong, but if you truly think about what motivates us to trust anything, it is based upon our ability to believe it will do as we expected it to do. We grow up believing in fairy tales and other such things, and then later get told they don't really exist; is it any wonder we can put real faith in anything? But when God demonstrates His power into our lives, it's pretty much a game changer, and any doubt that we might have is unjustifiable. Were you not changed? Did you not experience New Life? I see the "corn of heaven" as the word of God, which is pretty much what the manna represents, also. Here's the thing about the word of God, and how it is meant to be applied to our lives: it's a daily application! The "corn of heaven" is the truth of God's word that is planted in our hearts the moment we give our lives to the Lord; but the manna, it's the application of God's word upon our spiritual lives, which continues to feed and grow that truth which has been planted in our hearts. Our you daily giving nutrition to the truth within you? or are you daily putting in other garbage that is of the world? We need His word to keep us going; if you are not feeling as though you are going, then you have no one else to blame but yourself...
"Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up. We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don't try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. You see, we don't go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shinning in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves." (2 Corinthians 4:1-7) NLT
