God is Faithful

This Sunday's passage in Judges 2 was a clear reminder of God's faithfulness, in spite of His People's unfaithfulness.  In vs 1-2, "The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give to your forefathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall break down their altars.' Yet you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this?"

What a comfort to know that God will always be faithful to His promises and to the covenant, that He will be our God.  But, the question at the end of vs 2 "Why have you done this?"  seems to express the hurt in the heart of God by the broken covenant relationship; and probably some of His anger towards sin.  By analogy to the marriage relationship, it is like a spouse confronting the unfaithful and adulterous spouse and asking "Why have you done this?"  

I ask forgiveness for breaking the heart of God and for causing Him pain through my sin and unfaithfulness.  I pray that I will be as faithful as I can be; and that I will love Him, just as He loves me so greatly.
