Josh McDowell Devotions: Rotten People
Bible Reading: Psalm 103:1-8
The Lord is merciful and gracious; he is slow to get angry and full of unfailing love. Psalm 103:8
THE BIBLE IS filled with the stories of “rotten people” doing rotten things:
• Sarah laughed at God’s promise.
• Jacob made a lifestyle out of cheating people—even his own brother.
• Samson seemed willing to blab the solemn secret of his strength to any pretty woman who came along.
• David stole another man’s wife—and then had that man killed!
• Jonah tried to run away instead of taking God’s word to people he hated.
• Peter openly denied his Lord with vows and curses.
• John Mark quit the apostle Paul’s missionary team and went home, leaving Paul feeling deserted.
And those are just a few of the rotten people whose stories are told in the Bible. Some people did even worse things than those listed above!
