We are born into a life of
trouble. As surely as sparks fly, we are in difficulty. We are vexed constantly
until the day we die. The human race is living in a world of trauma. Our entire
planet distressed by the lifestyle of people who have no principles and live in
a behavior of sexual freedom. We are cursed, vexed, full of confusion in
everything we try to accomplish, we have abandon Yahweh, we have forgotten His
council and continue to do wicked things, we are perishing quickly. Humanity is
troubled with diseases and unclean spirits. We mistreat and oppress strangers
and day after day, tormented by the immoral things people are doing. Man is at
the mercy of his enemies, tricked and deceived as he slides down the road to
destruction.47
Adonai sees that man
has lost his vision. He is wandering around in darkness. He is in a war with an
enemy who blinds his captives. The scripture tells us that, “Where there is no
vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he”. There is no
happiness when the spirit is vexed, it is impossible for him to keep the law. There is no enlightenment in the eyes of man;
he is busy sleeping the sleep of death. Let us ask this question, “Has Adonai
ever needed anyone's advice? Does He need instruction about what is good? Did
someone teach Him what is right or show Him the path of justice?” There is no man,
or woman, that can teach Adonai. There is no one wise enough to give Yahweh
advice. 48
The enemy of Yahweh and man
is also watching, constantly looking for opportunities to vex. Man is vexed
with an evil eye from his enemy. The enemy guides humankind to the taking of
goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth,
wrongdoing, deceit, and sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, and
foolish acts. Deception and snares blind man, he is by nature a fool; “this is
the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes
all. The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in
their hearts while they live”, he has eyes in his head and yet walks in
darkness.49
Yahweh is watching all of
the meaningless things man does, “All his days his work is pain and grief; even
at night his mind does not rest”. “All his days he eats in darkness, with great
frustration, affliction and anger”. All of man’s activity is meaningless. As
Adonai continues to watch his creation, He says, “Stop trusting in man, who
has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?” Adonai Elohim says,
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.50
Your enemy promotes the actions of vexation. Selah
Do you have afflictions in
life? Do you know how to get rid of them?
Do you have irritations? Do
you know how to handle them? Do you know how to get rid of them?
Do you have troubles? Are
you chasing after the wind? Do you look as silly as a dog trying to catch his
tail?
What are you vexed about?
Are you experiencing the vexation of the spirit?
This should be your
captivating thought. “So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify
the desires of the sinful nature”. Galatians 5:16
