I was teaching scripture today and we are working thru some of the Old Testament and how there is a cycle the runs thru it with the Israelite nation.
Disobedience
Judgement
Cry out for Help
Rescue
Peace
this cycle goes round and round and God is faithful every time they call out for Help. When they have done nothing to deserve His love He shows them unconditional love.
Reflecting over this, this arvo, i can see we do this today! When things are going well we try live for ourselves (disobedience to God) then judgment comes along and life gets hard and we struggle to the point of seeing our failure and cry out for Help.
God, being Faithful as He is, comes along and gives us what we need to get out of the hole, and we go into times of 'peace' and then we go back to doing it on our own strength. The cycle begins again!

I truly believe God will one day say enough is enough and call the world to an end. were are we going to be standing at that time?
