What Have You Done?

Obadiah 1:15 NKJV “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head."

Obadiah says, "as you have done, it shall be done to you." That's a bit frightening! Especially if you've not been doing good. After Cain killed his brother, Abel, God appeared to him and asked, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground." That's the question we are being asked today, and one for you to ask yourself, "What have I done?"

Jeremiah 51:56 says that the Lord is the God of recompense, He will surely repay. Another version says He's a God of retribution. In other words, He makes sure that whatever we do, whether good or bad, is also done to us. That's what Ephesians 6:8 says, "knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he  is a slave or free." It doesn't matter who you are, what you do to others will surely be done to you, sometimes in greater measures.

What have you done to your employees? What have you done to your subordinates? What have you done to your employer? What have you done to your parents? What have you done to your wife and children? What have you done to those you borrowed money from? What have you done to your customers? What have you done to those ladies who gave you their hearts? What have you done? What are you doing? And what are you going to do going forward? Maybe you want to repent of your past deeds; God is merciful and gracious; if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us of every unrighteousness.
