Day 1
The Lord loves Israel but the more He calls them the more they walked away from Him. He led them with kindness, love, fed them and healed them. He so desperately wanted them to come back to Him. We can somewhat relate when our children do wrong and they seem to walk away from the right things. We so desperately want them to come back to the right, Godly things but sometimes they continue to rebel. But we still love them. God will always love His children and will forgive them when they come back to Him.
I Am the Lord your God, you know no god but Me, and besides Me there is no savior. Return to Me, for you have stumbled because of your sin. The Lord will take away your guilt. Whoever is wise let him understand these things; whoever is discerning let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
Day 2
Israelites will be carried away and taken captive because of their disobedience. They sinned and served other gods and took on the practices of nations that the Lord drove out. He warned them but they were stubborn.
Psalms 80 was a plea for God to look at Israelites again with favor. Restore us O God; let Your face shine that we may be saved!
Day 3
Moab will be scattered, then a throne will be established in steadfast love. On it one will sit in faithfulness, one who judges and seeks justice and is swift to do righteousness. Lord will send a Savior and Defender and deliver them. He will make Himself known to them.
Day 4
The Lord will destroy false strongholds and give those against Him no rest. God will restore the remnant of Israel and house of Jacob. They will lean on the Lord. One is coming and the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him. He will have - wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and fear of the Lord. With righteousness He will judge, righteousness will be the belt of His waist and righteousness the belt of His loins.
God is my salvation; I will trust and will not be afraid. For the Lord God is my strength, song and He has become my salvation. Sing praises to the Lord for He has done gloriously. Shout and sing for joy.
Day 5
If we are Gods people and we go astray, He will always want us to come back to Him. He desires to restore us. We may suffer discipline but it is because of His love for us.
O Lord You are my God; I will exalt You; I will praise Your name for You have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away every tear from all faces and take away the reproach of His people. Behold this is our God and we have waited for Him that He might save us. Let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
Day 6
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is and everlasting rock. The path of the righteous is level.
Day 7
The Lord sent judgement on the nations because He was enraged with them. They will then glorify the Lord. Their eyes will be opened. No unclean will pass over the Way of Holiness. The ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing. Everlasting joy will be on their heads and they shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Throughout the ENTIRE bible we are shown how we need to repent and return to the Lord. He is so clear about His love for us. Also it is clear how if we don't accept His love and turn to other "gods" then He will turn away from us. Those other "gods" are anything that has our attention, that keep us from fellowship with Him. What is your main focus of the day? We all have busy lives and things to keep us occupied, but if Jesus is your savior and He lives within you then talk to Him all day long!!!
Happy Reading - Jeannie
