“Easy Come – Easy Go?â€
“You were unmindful of the Rock…â€
(Deuteronomy 32:18)
“…For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased…â€
(1 Corinthians 10:4,5)
It is written: “You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you, and you forgot the God who gave you birth†(Deuteronomy 32:18). The apostle Paul wrote concerning the children of Israel, “…with most of them God was not pleased†(1 Corinthians 10:5). Today, people in general and Christians in particular, are influenced by the “spirit of their age.†That is the reason why Paul wrote: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed…†(Romans 12:2). The term “world†in Romans 12:2 is aionion; and means “age,†the spirit of the age, or by implication, what is currently and culturally normal. One such norm of our world is the, “Easy Come and Easy Go†mentality. In other words, little invested and little lost. Commitment is under discussion.
The Rock is God’s chosen designation of stability for his people (Deuteronomy 32). Be mindful of your Rock today; and the Rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:1-22).
“Easy Come and Easy Go†was not written of the soul.
