Are You Persecuting God?

Since my last entry, I have read Judges 20:35-21:25, Ruth 1:1-3:18, and Acts 8:13-9:30. My favorite verses are:

Judges 21:4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

Acts 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Are we making peace with God or persecuting Him? God desires to have fellowship with His children, and he wants those who are not yet His children to come to Him seeking salvation. He calls them, just as He called Saul—perhaps not in an audible voice, but at least by bringing conviction of wrongdoing to their hearts and souls. If you are not in harmony with God, if you are persecuting Him by mistreating His own chosen ones, rise early and come to Him seeking forgiveness and peace. Don’t even wait for “the morrow”; come to His altar with your peace offering today.
