The LORD alone is God and King over all the nations, and He will rightly judge those who will not trust in Him but will save those who love Him.

The LORD is gracious and kind to His servants even when they need His correction and consolation.

Our deepest desires determine and empower our idols, and they will rule over us if we do not turn away from them.

Understanding the sources of their superstitions and recognizing the force they wielded in shaping their lives will keep us from walking the same course to destruction.

The LORD patiently pleads with His people even when they rebel, but He will bring His just judgments against the rebellious.
