I'm leading Disciple 1 at church right now and due to the quantity of Old Testament Bible reading I'm doing daily, I find myself reading about the Isrealites and realizing how similar modern America is to those people.
Thou shalt have not other gods before me. That's one of the 10 commandments- yet, what gods are in your life that come before your prayer time? TV? Internet usage? Exercizing? Catching up with friends on the phone? None of these mentioned activites is bad- yet when you strtive to do them more than you strive to be on your knees before God- then you may have a problem. Maybe that activity IS your god?
God repeatedly sends prophets to tell His people they are sinning, they are disobedient people. They are forgetful. Hmm, sounds like me. I forgot the mercies I received just a week ago, and wonder if God's hearing my prayers becuase they are not answered they way I want them answered in the timing I want.
Same ol same ol. God sure is patient
