It would make my blood run cold to hear God say these things
about me that He said here about Israel:
“They have broken My agreement and have turned against My
teachings … so the enemy will chase them … I am very angry with the people …
Israel’s foolish plans are like planting the wind, but they will harvest a
storm … Although Israel built more altars to remove sins, they have become altars for sinning. I have written many teachings for them, but
they think the teachings are strange and foreign … The Lord is not pleased with
them. He remembers the evil they have
done, and He will punish them for
their sins … They will become slaves again … The time of punishment has come,
the time to pay for sins … You think the prophet is a fool, and you say the
spiritual person is crazy. You have
sinned very much, and your hatred is great.
How terrible it will be for them
when I go away from them! … Because of the sinful things they have done, I
will force them to leave My land. I will no longer love them …”
Father God, I would take Your discipline and punishment any
day over having You leave me. I can’t
imagine life without You anymore! Use
Your Holy Spirit to quicken my soul to You.
Warn me when I’m in danger of sinning.
Remind me to trust everything You say, regardless of what my own heart
is telling me, for I can trust You, my God!
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
