Take a moment to read 1 Corinthians 10:1-11 before reading the devotional below.
It’s never a good idea to mess with the supernatural realm. It’s also not a good idea to mess with things God has commanded us not to do. Some people get hung up on guilt, but it’s really not about that. It’s about danger. Sin is dangerous. It will harm you.
Today’s passage reminds us of the stories found in the book of Exodus (the second book in the Bible). The Israelite people tested God. They did not take his warnings seriously. A lot of them never made it to the Promised Land as a result. They died in the wilderness because they wanted to hang on to a lifestyle that was harmful.
Here’s your freedom for today:
God wants to keep you safe.
God has promised eternal rewards for those who follow Jesus. He has an awesome life for you. His plans are literally out of this world. Sinful living destroys you. There’s no way around it. This is because in the supernatural realm there is no neutral ground. You are in God’s territory or you are walking into Satan’s. Sin brings us into an enemy camp in the middle of a war. You will be taken prisoner if you don’t take the escape God is giving you. Is there something you need to do to be spiritually protected today?
