The Lord is so gentle that He will not quench a smoldering flax or break a bruised reed. We, on the other hand, are often like bulls in the China closet. It is the goodness of God that leads men to Jesus, and we think if we dangle them over, the so called, "fires of hell" we can win them to God. Not so! Even the farmer has more sense about planting seed than do most Christians. The farmer is keenly aware that the soil must be prepared, the temperature must be right, and the moisture perfect and the timing right, then, and only then, is the seed is put into the ground. Not so with us. We want to win people to God without being in relationship with them. We want to birth, without carrying them for 9 months. We want to plant seed without preparing the ground. So much of the natural speaks to us about spiritual things. We should always brag on the goodness of the Lord, because it is the goodness of God that leads a man to repentance. Why not tell the world how good He really is? Religion has discouraged countless from seeking God, but our God is much bigger than religion and He reaches for us in spite of religion. It is Jesus that we come to, it is Jesus that saves us and Jesus that we serve. The Jew earnestly served his “religion” and missed the real visitation of God. We too, could be so busy serving our religion that we miss the real Jesus. Be blessed.
