"They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are unstable ('moved')" (Psalm 82:5, NASB)
2 Thessalonians 2:11 says that, "....because they did not receive the love of the truth....God is sending them a deluding influence ('an activity of error') so that they will believe what is false ('the lie')." In other words, they do not understand because they don't want to understand. And when that happens, you have ignorance and darkness, then you have, "....all the foundations of the earth...unstable."
I just read again today the cure for the ignorance and darkness mentioned in our text. Jesus tells us in Luke 6, "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My Words and does them...is like a man who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock;..and when...the river burst against that house...it could not shake it, because it had been well built."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray to be, "....like [the] man who dug and went deep..," into You! Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
