WE WEARY GOD

It’s a peculiar thing to imagine the God who created and continues to sustain the world as wearied.  But the prophet Malachi tells us that we weary God.  How do we weary God?
       “You have wearied the Lord with your words.  But you say, ‘How
Have we wearied Him? ‘By saying, ‘Everyone who does evil is good
in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.’ Or by asking,
‘Where is the God of justice” Malachi 2:17.

Throughout the history of human beings God has been faithful in His provision and desires for us.  Throughout the history of human beings we have been faithful in forsaking Him and doing things our own way.  That would weary me.  But, we have raised the level by calling what is evil not only good, but those who do evil are good in God’s sight and He delights in them.  That is the level that wearies God.  Then to top that off they ask where the justice of God is.  Thankfully the God of justice is slow to anger or they would get what they asked for and be no more.
