SCRIPTURE: Lam. 1-2; Obad.; Rev. 14
Obadiah 16ish
The family of Jacob will take back their possessions
from those who took them from them.
OBSERVATIONS: God’s work with his people is cyclical. There are seasons of disobedience (shame on us) that come to an end when God’s people turn their hearts back to the Lord.
APPLICATION: Through holy listening and self-denial, I will seek God’s face and determine the way forward (eschewing the way back).
Let today be one of THOSE days, when the cycle shifts back to the retaking of the possessions–not of things, but our rightful places as the voices of truth, the bearers of grace and the stewardship of God’s creation.
PRAYER: God, receive the sacrifice of praise from your people and watch as the contrite heart within us is replaced with your own. Through Christ I ask it. Amen.
