Despised....

Numbers 15:30-31

30 " 'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people. 31 Because he has despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.' "

I read this, this morning. This was kind of harsh...but good & much needed to remember. I don't think I think about sin being this big....well I didn't think about 'defiant sin' being this big of a deal...I guess. It says it "despises the Lords Word!"....despises is a hard word! I don't think when I am in a situation where I am 'choosing' to sin...I think about what I'm really doing...I'm despising Gods Word! WOW. That hit me harder than I thought I would.
Through this whole journey I never want to be a person who just deliberately despises Gods word & purposely break his commands. I realize this was under the law, and that we have grace now through Jesus...but this was a good reminder for me.
A reminder that when I'm faced with a sinful situation...what will I do. Will I give into my self & despise Gods word? Or will I move away from it?
What would you do?
