Punishment of Exile

 

    God gives you direction in life.  His way is not aimless.  It has purpose, but it may not be the easiest path.  That is probably why so many people reject it.  However, His way is always better than your own.  He will direct you on whom and when to marry.  When to have children.  When and how to conduct certain aspects of life.  To act outside of His timeline is disastrous, even deadly.

    When you choose your own life path over the path God laid out for you, you loose out on His blessings.  You will not have His sympathy when everything falls apart because you have been warned.  You will not be comforted because you made the choice.  Jeremiah followed God even though it isolated him.  He was lonely because he was a social outcast and single.  However, God still blessed him more than those that seemed to have everything.  We all reap what we sow.

    Do not allow the ungodly to be in your intimate circle in life.  They will distract you and sway you away from God's design for your life.  They will steal your joy and gladness in life.  The greatest sin you can ever do is to forsake God, so do what you need to do in your life to protect that relationship.  To forsake God is to embrace the wickedness in your heart.  It leads to the Day of Disaster which leads to eternal excile.  The Day of Disaster is the day a person is thrown out of Heaven, like Satan, never to encounter God again.  

    God has sent many people into this world with a divine purpose.  However, there are few that have embraced it and follow Him completely.  Our job as a Christians is to grow in our relationship with God, tell others about Him, and make disciples (devote followers).  

    God will not hide anything from those that follow Him.  He will reveal sin for what it is and make it clear why it is sin.  God is strong enough for the both of you.  Trust His strength, instead of your own.  He will build you up to be a fortress and protect you from distress.  He is eager to teach you about His power and might.  He wants you to know Him.  He does not want to exile anyone.
