What will it take?

To bring the change that is needed. What will it take?

For you to be that person you want to be.

To be healthy. Will it take a doctor’s warning? Will it take something more severe?

“A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.” (Hosea 4 v 19)

What will it take for God’s people to turn back to Him?

God in His grace will even take His people into exile if it means they will eventually turn back to Him. That’s how much He wants us.

The exile (the whirlwind) that they will go into will lead them to become ashamed of their idolatry. It will bring them back. The exile will become part of their testimony.

Sometimes we end up in places we never dreamt of but it is there that we realise our need of the Lord and we begin to return to Him.

Sometimes we have to hit the pigpen before we get back into His presence.
