1 the Ambassador Spring 2013 Grieving God At the beginning of the year, I decided to try a Bible reading plan that I have never tried before. Like most Bible reading plans, it had me starting in the book of Genesis. When I read the first several chapters of the book of beginnings, I always have mixed emotions. In one glimpse, I hear the voice of God speaking the creation into existence. God s majesty and power are so clearly seen. A closer look reveals to me the disobedience of man and his tragic fall. For the first time in his existence, man felt grief and pain. Adam was separated from God and destined to experience hardship and toil. Romans 5:12 reminds us of the tragic ramifications of that day. Death, both physical and spiritual, is perhaps the most obvious consequence of the fall of Adam. Anyone who has lived for a good amount of time can bear witness to the grief that death brings. On a number of occasions, I have witnessed the grief that people have experienced as they stood by the casket of a special loved one. Their eyes were filled with tears and their bodies shook with emotion as their hearts were pained by their loss. Just live a few years, and you will experience grief. While grief is predominately thought to be only a human emotion, do you realize that the Bible teaches that God can be grieved as well? After surveying the wickedness of mankind on the earth, it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart (Genesis 6:6). Thousands of years later in the New Testament, Paul admonished believers to grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). A Word from the President by Dr. Alton Beal Is it really possible for an omniscient and omnipotent God to be grieved by His creation? Doesn t this imply that God must have some inherent weakness? If we know that we grieve the heart of God when we disobey Him, why do we choose to hurt the One that loves us the most? These are some good questions, and the answers are very simple. The Bible teaches that God can be grieved. We grieve the Holy Spirit of God every day. Immediately after Paul made his plea not to grieve the Holy Spirit, the sins of anger, bit- Plan now to attend Alumni Days honoring graduates from the classes of 1993, 1998, 2003, and 2008 on April 29 30, Monday: Tuesday: 9am Chapel with Pastor 9am Chapel with Rodney Love Pastor Kregg Farmer 1pm Alumni Golf Outing 6pm Alumni Banquet/Class Reunions 7pm Devotional with Dr. Charles Surrett Visit for more information.

2 terness, and division, along with others, are condemned in Ephesians 4:31. Too often, we condemn the big sins such as murder and stealing, and we excuse the sins of the spirit. It is the unkind word or unpleasant thought that can grieve the heart of our Creator and Lord. While God transcends our thinking in every way, He is still personal and affected by obedience or disobedience. Instead of writing us off, God chooses to experience grief. Just because the heart of God can be grieved by His creation and children does not mean that He has some flaw or imperfection. It does mean that He loves and cares about humans. In Hebrews 12, we are reminded of the discipline that God administers to His children when they stray from Him. Just because the children sin does not mean it is the Father s fault! If anything, God s grieving over our sin is not a sign of weakness, but rather that of strength. Instead of writing us off quickly, He chooses to experience that grief with the desire to draw us back to Himself. I am so thankful that The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy (Psalm 145:8). Too often in life, we choose self and sin over God and grieve Him. Is this not what Adam and Eve did in the garden? Before you are too hard on the likes of Samson or David, remember that the same possibilities lie within each of us. While God has done so much for us, we still sometimes choose to grieve Him with our disobedience and foolishness. Our human nature is fixed on destruction, and we cannot let it have its way. Through the years, I have heard many people say something like this: I would have rather taken a beating than to see the hurt in my parent s eyes. Maybe if we focus more upon the grief that we cause our Heavenly Father when we break His heart, we will stop grieving Him. Revival will come when we are overwhelmed at what our sin does to the heart of God.
