provoke (verb) – to be bitter; to rebel or resist; to disobey; to be contentious (H4784)

People test us and try our patience all the time. <moment of silence…and Amen.> 🙏🏽

And yet, we provoke God. 

It wasn’t just “the folk in the Bible days.”

We – as the beings God created for unbroken fellowship with Him and to bring Him glory – do the same thing.

Why would we even?!?! 🫣

👉🏽Read today’s passage (slowly, with emphasis, and out loud in front of a mirror if you’re super-brave).

Let’s quit the foolishness. It’s time out for nonsense.⏳️

It’s time to be about our Father’s business of living and loving. I’m sure you agree that there’s more than a-plenty work to be done!

Blessings, Kayren

“6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.”

(Psalm 106:6-12)
