The empty life without God

“In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.” - Deuteronomy 28v67

In the section just before this God gives a whole list of blessings and cursing. Blessings if Israel obeys and cursings if the do not. At the end of this the Lord gives a clear picture of a life that ignores God. It is a life of emptiness and vanity.

God puts it this way here; “When it is morning you will long for the evening and when it is evening you will long for the morning.” What an empty life this portrays! Never content with what is going on, always looking for “something better” tonight or tomorrow. Why this despair? For the fear of your heart at what you will see. These are thoughts which are choose not to see God working in the situation, who have not obeyed the Lord and followed Him, and have chosen their own way. These poor souls are always looking to what is next because their lives are so miserable.

I can’t imagine a life without God. When I look around at all that is going on, I would be it absolute despair without Him.

God is do good to give us purpose and meaning for life. We don’t have to keep looking for what is next because can be redeeming the time in these evil days. Let us use every moment for His glory!
