Under certain degree of circumstances , living a life of disobedience poses a danger in the days ahead of the concerned individual. I just realize how God punishes Israel for their complete refusal to God’s statutes and opted to live in their wickedness. As a result , God’s glory has departed from them ( Ezekiel 10 ). Being left by God’s presence is something inconceivable. I said it so because just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, one can’t live productively and sensibly without God in his life ( John 15:5). What Israel has experienced is indeed a lesson for every one to learn. Their detestable attitude must serve a warning to all concerned pertaining to its possible consequences if one opted to live a life along this manner. Certainly , God is as forgiving as he is , if one simply repent from his rebellious ways and come to Him in complete humility.
God’s intention to restore Israel from their predicament has inspired me in a way. Inspite of their sinfulness, God intends to give his people a new heart and spirit that will guide them to walk in God’s ways. This portrays God’s amazing love beyond measure. Undoubtedly, God’s desire for his people is good and just. Nothing less.
