Examples of Man’s ways before God


Cain

Genesis 4:5-6  

5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?

Sodom and Gomorrah

Genesis 18:20-21  

20 Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous

21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”

22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.

Uzzah

2 Samuel 6:6-7  

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.

7 The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God.

1 Chronicles 13:10

The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

Thought

A desire for discernment is God’s call to prayer.

Thought

God warns us that seeking our own brand of contentment apart from Him is futile, for "the bed is too short to stretch out on, the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.”
