2 Peter2:17-19
"These are wells without water, .....by the same is he brought to bondage."
Verse19 tells me that even though the promises these people gave seem to be of freedom, they do not know that they are trapped in their own "desires".
I often heard from non-Christian that life is short, we must try out everything and enjoy ourselves while we can. Some will add on to say "I don't want to get restricted by anything, freedom is the best." Yet they do not know they are bounded by their own desires. Ironically, aren't they restricting themselves to the exposure to God?
On top of that, in Romans 3:11 "there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God ".
Also in Psalms 10:3-7, "he boast about the cravings of his heart, .... evil are under his tongue." God spoke to me through verse4 when He says "In his pride the wicked does not seek him, in all his thoughts there is no room for God." I found it true that we do not seek God on our own, we are always trying to gratify our own desires, leaving no room for God in our mind.
Oh, a piece of good news for everyone!!! Por, this young lady whom we met at Khon Kean during the last mission trip and received Christ on that day, I just found out that she still pray to God! The joy that came from knowing the seed is growing is indescribable. Now I know how it feels when the apostles, in the past, felt when they heard that those people whom they shared Christ with is growing in faith. To be honest, I've never felt so joyous before. haha. Thank God!
