Leviticus 26:14-20 – “If you turn away from Me and refuse to follow My instructions, expect terror to follow! All manner of ills will surround you, and all your hard work will come to nothing. The sky will be like iron against you and the soil like bronze, and the sources of your pride will be destroyed.”
Lord, this is not the kind of promise we want to hear! But thank You for
letting us know what to expect. Thank You for reminding us that our choices and
actions have consequences – as surely as when a child disobeys a parent or
teacher, especially after being warned.
Heavenly Father, You have instructed us. You have warned us. If we start
to turn from You – or if our friends, family, church, or country start to turn
away – please coax us back before we go too far astray. Thank You, Lord.
