I am glad to meet you again in our column \u201cDaily word for spiritual strength\u201d! We are reasoning about how we can turn tragedy into triumph. Yesterday we mentioned that God is not the author of our sufferings and tragedies, because He only possesses goodness and perfection.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abLet no man say when he is tempted, \u201cI am tempted by God,\u201d for God can\u2019t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. Don\u2019t be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.\u00bb\u00a0(James\u00a01:13-17).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nFrom the verse above we also see that lust bears sin, and the sin brings forth death.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00ab\u2026Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.\u2026.(James\u00a01:15).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nSufferings, tragedies, grieves, deceases, sorrow and other similar things all lead to death. So\u00a0lust brings sin, and sin brings death.\u00a0<\/strong>So what is lust and why does it bring sufferings into people lives? Below are some biblical definitions of lust.\r\n\r\nLust is a strong desire or passion to something forbidden or unlawful. For example, the Bible says coveting your neighbour\u2019s wife or his property is unlawful.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00ab\u201cYou shall not covet your neighbour\u2019s house. You shall not covet your neighbour\u2019s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour\u2019s.\u201d\u00bb\u00a0(Exodus\u00a020:17).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nViolating this law causes different kinds of tragedies \u2013 robbery, adultery, even murder. Lust is when a person desires something that is not compatible with God\u00b4s will, thus, he rejects God\u00b4s power over his life.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abThus says Yahweh, stand you in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls: but they said, we will not walk\u00a0therein. I set watchmen over you,\u00a0saying, Listen to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not listen. Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them. Hear, earth: behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.\u00bb\u00a0(Jeremiah\u00a06:16-19).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nThis text shows that calamity or tragedy on Earth today is a fruit borne by those who disobey God\u00b4s word and reject God\u00b4s will. Lust urges people to deny God\u00b4s way and see themselves wise in their own eyes. Though, it bears sin, then sin when it is committed brings forth death. God is light! To deny light (God) means staying in the darkness. Replying \u201cno\u201d to God\u00b4s invitation you make success, love, joy, and happiness in your life impossible to happen. How dare you neglect God at the time when you are happy, and accuse Him at the time you run into a problem? The whole generation never carried about God in its mind is in most cases the cause of our tragedies. Here are the testimonies from the Bible:\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abEven as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;\u00bb\u00a0(Romans 1:28).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n
\u00abI am Yahweh, your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people didn\u2019t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me. So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels. Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries. The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever. But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.\u201d\u00bb\u00a0(Psalms 81:10-16)<\/h6>\r\n \r\n
\u00ab Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go. Oh that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:\u00bb\u00a0(Isaiah 48:17,18).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nTomorrow we are going to continue to elaborate on lust and its consequences.\r\n\r\nPeace of God be with you!
