MICAH 6:3 (NLT)
O my people, what have I done to you?
What have I done to make you tired of me?
Answer me!
ROMANS 2:4 (CEV)
You surely don't think much of God's wonderful goodness or of his patience and willingness to put up with you. Don't you know that the reason God is good to you is because he wants you to turn to him?
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We insult God when we ignore his kindness.
DAILY FODDER
Have you ever gone out of the way to be kind to someone, only to have them ignore you? How did that feel? How is God's response to indifference different?
PRAYER
Loving God, thank you for your ongoing kindness. I regret that my response to what you do is usually weak. But you understand my weakness and I'm counting on your gracious patience. I want to be responsive. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
