Reflect

In this passage, the people of Israel and Judah are told to expect both punishment and forgiveness. How is punishment described? How is forgiveness described? What does the LORD promise to do? What are your thoughts as you read this passage?

Pray

Almighty and faithful God, I come before you with a humble heart, seeking your mercy and forgiveness for my wrongdoings. Help me to be a channel of your grace and love to everyone I encounter today. Amen.
