Mark 6:6 KJV
And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
There is a time when we don't want the Lord to marvel at us! That Christ would look in amazement at our unbelief is as frightening thing as I can think of. We are given so many advantages and blessings from the hand of God.
We are given life
We are given necessities
We are given the ability to think and to reason and to comprehend the truth of God
We are given the Word of God
We are given the conviction of the Holy Spirit
We are given the witness of our own spirit telling us the Word of God is true
We are given the testimony of others who have followed Christ
We are given the evidence of those whose lives have been so much bettered when they trusted the Lord
And still there are people who do not believe.
What's more, among those who have professed Christ there is also an amazing element of unbelief.
We don't believe we ought to obey the Bible.
We don't believe we need to attend public services
We don't believe there is benefit in fervent prayer
We don't believe we should tell others about the Lord
At least we don't believe to the extent that we will happily and faithfully take part in them.
Proverbs 15:3 KJV
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
When He beholds me, I don't want Him to marvel at my unbelief.
