Son, there is no other god but Me! I am the One who gave you life, and I am the One who heals. I merely spoke and the heavens were created. I breathed the word and all the stars were born. So take to heart My words that I have given you. Pass them on to your children so they will know and obey every word. My instructions are not empty words-they are your life! By obeying them you will enjoy a long life, and you can trust everything I do.
My eyes will watch over you because I know you, and My ears are open to your cries for help. When you face troubles I will rescue you each time. When you pray to Me I will answer you, and free you from your fears. Remember, that I am watching over you because you are relying on My unfailing love.
Son, ask your countrymen what have I done to make them tired of Me? Don’t they remember anything? Therefore, I will hide My face from them on account of all the evil they do and the worshiping of other gods. They have raised up a twisted generation; children without integrity. I will abandon them; then lets see what becomes of them.
What do I want? For your countrymen to do what is right according to My word. To seek My mercy, and to walk humbly before Me. They should fear Me if they are wise! My voice calls to everyone who will listen.
Lord, though I fall-You will help me up again. Though I sit in darkness-You are my light; for You delight in showing Your unfailing love to me, and to those who will listen and follow Your word.
