Psalm 106:24-25 (KJV)
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

There is something very positive
in the negative most do not want to hear. We live in a world interpreting intolerance
as judgmental, and non-accepting. We are
spoiled in our God given right to choose and when we make wrong choices and it
comes time to pay the piper; we mumble and grumble in our tents as spoiled
brats.
The tension exist for a good
purpose, it is the resistance calling our iniquities into check. Transgression
is not the real problem, iniquity is where transgression comes into being; self-will,
self-seeking, me, I , and myself is the hinge swinging the door open to the
distance we create between us and God.
The “I” God becomes our God and
we wonder why we cannot find fulfillment. Love is never about us getting our
way; acceptance and affirmation can only be valid when relationship evolves out
of tension. God will remain silent as long as our noise is celebrating around
the molten calf we have constructed.
God has declared Himself as a jealous God. I am
glad He is; makes His love more apparent to me.
