Proverbs 29: 27
An unjust man is abominable to the righteous, and he who is upright in the way is abominable to the wicked.
This really is true. So often when I've heard what evil people have done I've just felt sick about it. And I've read about people who don't know the Lord joking about feeling sick over some righteous deed that didn't seem logical to them.
God's ways are so far above ours that they seem opposite! There is no possible way for us to know anything at all of Who God is or His ways of living in this World without His telling us.
Our little brains that we like to think so highly of are like the little toys we make as children to play with: Lego creations that we give "life" to with a rubber band or by turning a crank. And we are god over our little toys, to do with as we wish, then dismantle all the bricks and put them away for the next time.
God wants us to know Him, so He has revealed Himself to us, and told us our whole Human story from the beginning to the end, and then some. He sent His prophets to tell us ahead of time what He is doing to bless us for obedience or to withdraw His goodness and protection from those who refuse to honor or consider His Sovereignty over us.
Just as the little Lego people could never come to know us, so we would never understand God or His ways. That's why wicked deeds are so sickening to those who have God's Spirit living in them, and righteous ways are abhorrent to worldly and wicked people.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
