So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
The thing he felt so foolish about was almost slipping over the seeming ease of the unbeliever.
He had witnessed the life they experienced, compared it with the troubles believers experience. He said he almost turned from the Lord over it.
The thing he was ignorant about was their end
The unbeliever, though knowing relative ease in this world in comparison to the believer, faces an eternal end that, in no way, makes their ease today worth it.
The thing he was animal-like in his attitude for the lost.
How could a believer ever wish evil upon the lost? Their end is so terrible, and we are so undeserving of God’s grace that our only human
response ought to be to hope for their salvation.
It was when he went to the house of the Lord that he learned this truth. It is the house of the Lord that keeps us from slipping.
May God help us never to take that for granted.
