It is no surprise that history repeats itself over & over. We can be surprised, even shocked, when we hear of things or see things! Our God is not moved, He is never shocked nor surprised. Our God though is a jealous God. He takes a very negative stance when His children turn their affection from Him to things of this world! When we place our affection on things of this world, taking away what was His & robbing Him of His first place, in our hearts! These things of the world we place our attention & affection on, lead us to a dry & empty place in our hearts. The heart desires to be full, we must fill it with the things of God, giving no place for temporal thing to reside for just a short time!
Jeremiah 2:13 (AMP)
“For My people have committed two evils: They have abandoned (rejected) Me, The fountain of living water, And they have carved out their own cisterns, Broken cisterns That cannot hold water. We must examine ourselves! We must judge ourselves by the Word of God! Have we set our hearts on the unfulfilling, the empty things of this world? Or have we been nurturing our hearts with the Word of God, with the things of God? We have a jealous God, Who is GREATLY offended to take 2nd place in our lives!
Exodus 20:3-6 (AMP) “You shall have no other gods before Me.
“You shall not make for yourself any idol, or any likeness (form, manifestation) of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth [as an object to worship]. You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous (impassioned) God demanding what is rightfully and uniquely mine], visiting (avenging) the iniquity (sin, guilt) of the fathers on the children [that is, calling the children to account for the sins of their fathers], to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing graciousness andsteadfast lovingkindness to thousands [of generations] of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
God IS Good ALL The Time...
