There are natural consequences to unrighteous decisions and what we reap from them is described as punishment in scripture. It is wise to use common circumstances to aid in our understanding due to cultural norms.
In His mercy, pain is often delayed or we are encouraged to reach to higher levels that our sins of the past are not able to claim us at these heights. This is why it is important for us to never go back as the physical and mental consequences which we left are generally waiting for us. We have proven to have additional lessons to learn. The insanity that would return us to vomit, takes us to a land more difficult to escape from as in previous times.
God comes to us always in a way that we are able to receive the spirit of the callings. Let’s read into the principle that we have opportunity to graduate from arguing over milk.
“The queen of Sheba will also stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Now someone greater than Solomon is here—but you refuse to listen. “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.” Matthew 12:42-45
