Throughout our series God has been trying to wake Israel up to their lifestyle of ignoring God…drifting from him…turning their backs on him…and ultimately giving themselves to chasing after every other experience in life they believe will satisfy their deepest longings.

Folks, I don’t think we should consider ourselves any less at risk of this kind of distraction from God and dilution of worship. Our culture pushes and advocates for all sorts of “things,” “ambitions,” and “priorities” that constantly clamor to pull our heart attention away from devotion and pursuit of God.
