Kind AND Severe
Romans 11:22
22 Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.
God is Kind AND Severe and He means business. If you are wanting God, He will be with you, helping every step of the way. We can know that in our failures, we can trust that God’s Kindness draws us to repentance. But if you choose to walk away, He will also allow you to do that, resulting in a “cutting off” of His blessing. God calls us to be “all in” because He is an “all in” God. Nothing else compares to a life completely surrendered to Him.
Challenge: Read Romans 11. Take time today to reflect on the moments in life where you had to decide to trust in God. What was the outcome of trusting or not trusting in Him?
