God’s love for Israel is unwavering and enduring. It has existed since the beginning of her existence as a nation. Even in the early days when Israel was a young nation in Egypt, God’s love was already there, guiding her out of bondage. These historical examples of God’s love for Israel are a powerful reminder of their shared past. However, despite His steadfast love, they turned away.
God’s care for Israel did not waver even though she kept walking away from His love to pander to idolatry. However, this would be their undoing. Israel's refusal to return to God would lead them to the brink of another slavery, this time in Assyria. The consequences of turning away from God are grave, and this is a lesson that Israel had learned the hard way.
Just as Israel faced grave consequences for turning away from God, we, too, may face the same result when we turn away from God and the path of righteousness. Don't spurn God's love. Choose to stay steadfast, faithful, and engaged in our commitment to Him.
