What stood out today:
1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them.
8 "How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I turn and devastate Ephraim. For I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you.
My response: As Luther cried out; “I want a God of Love, One who is merciful.” The whole world cries out. If only they knew the truth. If only your church believed the truth. If only I believed more completely. “Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief.” Lord God. Father, Son, Holy Spirit thank you for loving me with a white hot Holy Love that is all consuming. Help me to be completely open to You, completely vulnerable. If I can be that deeply trusting; You will be Glorified, and pleased. And, I will be transformed as you desire. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus! Bring it on…
