How incredible that God is not just willing to forgive and restore, but He sacrifices for us to make it possible.
Give thanks to the Lord! For the Lord is good! For His loving kindness is everlasting!
God doesn’t have to remind the people of what the future holds, but He does because His goal is not punishment, but Restoration!
What a beautiful picture of God bringing peace, joy and blessing to the people who have just experienced discipline. His intention with trials/discipline is not to destroy but rather to transform and draw us near. Lord help me to always be looking toward Your ultimate plan rather than being so focused on the suffering of today.
God wants his people close and does everything with the intention of drawing His people to Himself. Even discipline is designed to bring us closer to Him. Lord, help me to make the decision to draw near to You so that discipline is not needed!
This passage is so clear that the intention behind the discipline of God to to restore relationship. He desires that we know Him, spend time with Him and follow Him intentionally. Lord align my heart to you in every way!
The false prophet is telling the people what they want to hear is removed by God to protect the people from the lies. God cares about truth and wants His people to deal with truth rather than lies that make us feel better.
