Why Don’t We Repent?

Scripture: Revelations 9: 20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood–idols that cannot see or hear or walk.

Observation: It is so hard to believe here is the end of the world and the people see all of this destruction and yet they still do not repent. Why is it so hard for us to say we are wrong and bow down to God? We can’t get past ourselves and our desires and give praise to the One who created us, we would rather suffer in our own decisions instead of giving God the honor He is due.

Application: I need to repent of my sins. A sin is anything that displeases God and I still do my share of that. I’m here only to serve God and to fulfill my purpose in this life. I need to be careful with my thoughts and to be patient waiting on God.

Prayer: Dear Father guide this servant and forgive me of my sins. Help me through each day to be careful of what I do, say and think and draw me nearer to you.
