In old testament books the prophets depict horrendous examples of disloyalty. It's always in a form of adultery. Some even say that God's wife is so adulterous and perverse that she has many lovers and while whores usually get paid for that kind of work, she pays them!
I wonder if we took THAT to heart, how it might change us? What if we recognized that when we got the urge to read our Bible but instead we submitted to the television, that God sees that as you cheating on him?
Do you cheat on God?
We all know cheating on our spouse is inherently wrong, bad, evil and unacceptable. But why don't we feel the same way about God? Why is cheating on God acceptable to us?
Because we don't realize that it's cheating and it's that serious? I agree. But now you do...
If you continue to cheat on God, unabated, and feel no remorse for it, or cover it with "grace" can you be sure you know God? Or more importantly, that you're his wife? God does forgive and he will take you back, that's what is wonderful about him...but don't you have a responsibility to submit?
