2 Peter 2:10 (ESV) — and especially those who indulge in the lust of
defiling passion and despise authority.
Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they
blaspheme the glorious ones,
NOTE: This is my
generation. We are willfully and boldly choosing to defy God. Man has always
been in rebellion, but I have never seen man so defiant against God, his rules,
and holiness. The context of the passage says that God will judge the evil
ones. We are all evil, but there is something even worse about this willful,
bold defiance and the associated scoffing. We are coming upon a terrible time
of judgment that will engulf the whole world. There is no question that will
happen. The only remaining questions are when and how far God will let man sink
into the mire of his rebellion. God will act and mankind will be judged most
severely. We need witnesses to warn the people to repent.
PRAYER: God, have
mercy on my nation. I know that we do not deserve mercy. There is nothing good in
us anymore. Raise up witnesses who will speak up against the unbridled sin that
ravages the land. It seems too late. I pray it is not.
