Going Against God
Lesson for September 6, 1959
YOU WOULD never think that
sucha fool lived on earth as to
try to go against God. But there
not only have been such foolff,
there are such nowadays, and
you and I, dear Reader, may be
two of them. Look at the testimony
of the Bible; look around you in
the church, and
the world; took

as fractious chil
dren kick and scream when their
mother is trying to do them good.
Consider the cases of Ohadiah and
Jonah. Ohadiah is a little 2-page
“book" mostly _about the sins of
Edomites;-who were* enemies of
God's people to start with. Jonah
is all about the sins of Jonah, one
of God’s prophets.,33ie curious fact
is that both the 'Edomites and
Jonah were guilty of the same
kinds of sms. Both -Worked against
God.
PrM*
The Edomites as a nation, at the
time of Obadiab, were a proud
people. They had wealth, they had
power, they occupied a territory
where an invading-Stuny had
scarcely a chance. Being proud,
they could not believe that any
evil would ever touch them. They
were immune, serene, never to be
conquered. They had defied men;
they were prepared to defy God.
Jonah the prophet also was
proud. He was so proud, so sure
he knew what to do and when to do
it, that when God told him to go
preach to Nineveh, he not only did
not go but he paid the fare for a
long sea voyage in the exactly
opposite direction, to Tarshish. The
peak and center and symptom of
the sin of pride is this conviction,
“God doesn’t know best; I do!”
