The Israelites experienced the consequences of rejecting God thousands of years ago, and modern society follows the same path. If the causes are similar, why would the results differ?
Our sinful, human nature tends toward death (Rm 8:6). However, we have hope in Jesus, Who is our only Hope. When we live for Jesus alone, He breaks the destructive cycle of sin and gives us a new set of consequences:
"I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life" (Dt 30:19). Break out of the vicious cycle. Obey God.
| PRAYER: | Jesus, save me from myself. Save me for a life of obedience, service, holiness, and worship. I give my life totally to You. |
| PROMISE: | "The measure with which you measure will be used to measure you." –Mt 7:2 |
| PRAISE: | Albert has lovingly attended daily Mass for over forty years. |
