In past generations He allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways – Psalm 81:11. It will be no different for us today if we fail to obey the Lord.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, we are called to follow Jesus, to trust him at every turn of our lives. Psalm 81:11-12 reminds us, that, the Lord allowed his people to follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas because they refused to listen to and obey him; and Psalm 106:43 tell us that, “Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, I am pleading with you this morning to follow Jesus, to give up every idol that you serve and worship God; for there are consequences for not obeying the Lord.
