I find it so fascinating when I read even in the Old Testament how it sounds so much, and looks so much like today. Reading Deuteronomy chapter 28 and the 1st verse.... If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on Earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you will obey the Lord your God.... Read the rest of that chapter it is amazing.. When you get to verse 15 it tells you the curses for disobedience. Everything you want to know is in God's word. You don't have to ask why things are happening. It's written in His word. That led me into reading 2nd kings verse 5 and 6 and how it is explained in my Bible ...... God was doing what he said he would do in Deuteronomy 28. He had given Israel AMPLE warning, they knew what would come, but they still ignored God. Israel was now no better than the pagan nations it had destroyed in the days of Joshua. The nation had turned sour and rejected its original purpose, to honor God and be a light to the world... Wow, does that sound like today.... Heavenly Father, I personally thank you for being so patient with us. All we can do is pray for your mercy.
All for You Lord
