“Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT
God had an age-old problem with His people. They constantly slid into idolatry and polluted their worship of Him. We see a typical response of the people when confronted with this truth in Malachi 1:2. They had forgotten all God had done for them.
When we forget the good we start to see what we consider the bad. We point to it and rage against God. We must take time to remember His faithfulness. He is always faithful, even when we are not.
We create idols from emotive ideals about the God we want to serve. He must perform as we want. When He refuses to be a genie in a bottle we rail against Him. We fail to recognise He is God. Amen!
