From today’s reading...
‘Very well, this is what Yahweh says, “Your wife will become a prostitute in the streets, your sons and daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parcelled out by measuring line, and you yourself will die on polluted soil and Israel will go into captivity far from its own land!”’” Amos 7:17
They say, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” but you’d be hard-pressed to find more fury than what God can dish out when you ignore and rebuke and scorn Him time after time after time.
Israel can’t say God did not warn them repeatedly…and neither can you and I.
God is full of mercy, but there is no mercy without justice.
Accept His mercy.
Accept His discipline.
Accept His correction.
Confess and repent, which is the only way to...
Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Now go sell something.
