Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites,
because the Lord has a charge to bring
against you who live in the land:
“There is no faithfulness, no love,
no acknowledgment of God in the land."
The people are in trouble. They have not been faithful to God, and He has had enough. They spend all their time and money satisfying themselves, breaking God's laws and ignoring all He has done for them. Now He is taking His blessings from them.
I saw my country in God's charges against Israel. He intends to bring Israel back, to court her so that she is like the nation at its beginning. Maybe we need to go back mentally, go back to the Amazing Grace we felt when we were first saved.
Prayer: Guide Your people to see what is truly important. Help us to be more faithful. We are so distracted by all the shiny things around us. I confess my distraction. I want to be more of a child of God. Help me.
Amen
