—2 Chronicles 6:26-31
by: Trisha Gerstel.
In today’s Scripture, King Solomon’s words remind us of a truth we often wish to forget: Our actions have consequences. Sometimes those consequences are a cause for celebration (i.e. gaining wisdom through regular Bible study). But when our actions reap unwanted consequences, we are tempted to call God unfair or cruel in allowing or causing them. It is important, however, that we (like Solomon) approach this matter with a humble heart. We must accept the need for consequences and understand that they are administered from a loving heart and infinite wisdom, and with our very best in mind.
