Foolishness And Rebellion

Psalm 107:17-22


Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent forth His Word and healed them; He rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of joy.

O my Father, I pray for all those I love dearly who have rejected Your gracious offer of redemption and gone on their own rebellious ways, and now suffer the result of their sinful choices. I pray, Father, that they will become aware of their foolish state and cry out to You in faith; that You would then save them and send forth Your Word, which is Life, into their lives to heal them of their emotional and spiritual maladies, and draw them to Yourself.
