I myself taught Israel how to walk, leading him along by the hand. But he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who took care of him. ~ Hosea 11:3 (NLT)
Interpret our Master’s patient restraint for what it is: salvation. ~ 2 Peter 3:15 (MSG)
KEY IDEA:
God does not give up on us, even when we are indifferent to his saving grace.PRAYER:
Gracious Master, thank you for not giving up on us -- especially me. I make so many mistakes and am oblivious to your guiding hand. That really needs to change. I do understand enough to know that I can't make that kind of a change on my own. I need your patient care to move me forward toward greater awareness of the salvation that has been established by Jesus. Unpack that salvation in my life so that I can celebrate your generosity. Amen.
