"Now he will remember their guilt and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt." Hosea 8:13b
"Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with your whole heart, and with your whole being, and with your whole strength."
Deuteronomy 6:5. What happens when we turn our back on God? They shall return to Egypt, God doesn't send them there but in their own ways they find themselves back in the land of slavery. In being punished for our sins we will remember the joy of walking with God and we in turn will turn back to Him. The choices we make each day do have consequences not only for ourselves but also for our culture. God does not change, He is constant. "For I, the LORD, do not change, and you, sons of Jacob, do not cease to be." Malachi 3:6.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the beautiful sunshine today, as much as it blesses us, it reminds me of a culture who has turned their back on You. Send rain into a land known for green fields and green lands. Help them see that their choices of not following Your word does have consequences and You are always there ready to bless. Prayers for those in my thoughts this morning Lord, strengthen their resolve Lord God and give them hope. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Knock, pray for us.
