"'Return, faithless Israel,' declares the LORD, 'I will frown on you no longer, for I am merciful,' declares the LORD, 'I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt - you have rebelled against the LORD your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,'" declares the LORD."
The passage talks about how God is ever so faithful and merciful toward the Israelites. Although they kept sinning against God, God is telling them to turn from their idols and come to him because he does not want to condemn them. The bible says God is patient. He is patient even when we rebel, sin, and disobey him. However, he is not forever patient. Jesus will come back to this earth to judge everyone.
Let us not harden our hearts when we hear God's voice today but acknowledge our guilt and ask God for forgiveness. He desires us to be forgiven and restored.
