TEXT: Genesis 6:5-7.
If the Almighty God himself got
to the point where he felt disappointed about the heart of the man he created,
then it is really true that the heart of man is wicked. Our passage of today
says “that God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth”. If a man
wants to be great, why should it be in wickedness? It is strange. It went on to
say “...every imagination of the thought of his heart was only evil
continually”. Are there no other things to occupy ourselves with? Why must it
be evil? It was not even evil for a while, it was continually evil. This is
really wickedness. What is in your heart? Will God be happy with the content of
your heart?
When God created man he celebrated his
handwork; he saw man and said “it was very good” (Gen. 1:31) but not long
after, that which was very good became “only evil continually”. This is an
abuse of purpose, an error of the highest order. Wickedness is first and
foremost a sin against God because it is a corruption of his divine agenda. If
a man can choose to disobey his creator then there is nothing he cannot do. Do
not allow your heart to be the breeding ground where the devil manufactures
evil. Fill your mind with the word of God and there shall be no room for wickedness. Devotional
