Despite the lack of love for God, God still loves us as a parent loves wayward children. Realize it or not, our Heavenly Father loves beyond our understanding. Turn to the Father’s love, and always trust him.
A nation reaps what it sows. God warns the northern kingdom that it is destined to reap the judgement of death because of it’s sin. Their hearts were false - they had reject God. What a timely warning for us today. We still need God just as much today.
