You Deal With God
"I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man."
~ Hosea 11:9
"The Lord thus makes known His sparing mercies. It may be that you are under heavy displeasure, and everything threatens your speedy doom. Let the text hold you up from despair. The Lord invites you to consider your ways and confess your sins. If He had been man, He would long ago have cut you off.
You rightly judge that He is angry, but He keeps not His anger forever:if you turn from sin to Jesus, God will turn from wrath. Because God is God, and not man, there is still forgiveness for you, even though you may be steeped up to your throat in iniquity.
No human being could have patience with you:you would have wearied out an angel, as you have wearied your sorrowing father, but God is longsuffering. Come and try Him at once. Confess, believe, and turn from your evil way, and you shall be saved." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME THIS MORNING. OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. FORGIVE US OF ALL OUR SINS, OUR DEBTS, AND OUR TRESPASSES AGAINST YOU AND MAN. AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE INDEBTED TO US, AND THOSE WHO HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM ALL EVIL:FOR THINE I THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE HONOR, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER. IT IS IN CHRIST JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN!
