"Sorrow and Grief"
“Sorrow and Grief”
Blessings folk!
We have seen that the “sons of God” began usurping power, roles and responsibilities that belong to God.
They took to themselves the daughters of men as wives.
I believe these “sons of God” were demon-possessed men who sought to rule over man.
Men who sought to be “god”.
What was God’s response?
Gen 6:5-6
Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
He saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth.
He saw that every intent of the heart of man was evil.
He was sorry that He had made man on the earth.
He was grieved in His heart.
We learn much about God.
We learn that He sees.
We learn that He has emotion.
We learn He experiences and expresses emotion, yet without sin.
Remember, we are made in the image of God.
We are a reflection of Him.
We learn that God “was sorry” that He made man.
He was not surprised at what man was doing.
He knew it would be done.
He knew it before the foundation of the earth was spoken into existence.
Yet, He created.
Yet, He was sorry.
Yet, He grieved in His heart.
We see the heart and compassion of the Lord.
We see the intense evil of man.
Nothing has changed.
