Scripture: Ezekiel 5:16, Isaiah 26:9

Ezekiel 5:16 says, “When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread.” God sends the arrow of famine to bring repentance. God’s may initiate His purpose of salvation through the judgment of famine! God said in Isaiah 26:9 that when His judgments come upon the earth the people of the world learn righteousness. For the one who has ears to hear God’s judgments, there is an open the door to salvation! In Romans 11 we are told to behold the goodness and the severity of God. What arrows do we see God shooting at us as a nation today? Will we have ears to hear what God says to pray, keeping in mind that God’s apparent severity can lead to His goodness of salvation!
