Friday, September 10: 2Kings 17- Judged and found wanting.

Years of disobedience caught up with the northern kingdom.God had had enough… and judgment came through the Assyrians. For years God kept calling to the northern kingdom, through the prophets, to repent and return to the Lord but Israel kept rejecting God. God’s Grace rejected … judgment descended.

Israel’s example is a reminder.  Judgment will come if we continue rejecting God’s call to repent, God’s call to come home, God’s grace and God’s love.

Lord God, I don’t want to be like the northern kingdom and presume on Your love, even as I reject Your ways. Show me areas in my life in which I need to grow and change. I bow to You, O, Lord, my God, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
