1 Samuel 12:20-25
Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people. Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way. Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”

someone was doing their OT homework right before class....
Actually, I did it the night before. I just thought this was a really good verse and as I read it last night I thought about how it applies to my life. Its relevant at least ten times a day. But everytime I turn from Him, all I have to do is turn back towards Him once I see my folly. How great is our God?
I like how at the end it says that "both you and your king" will be swept away....God will always stay beside us. no matter what we do, even if it is unpleasing to Him.
