Contemplation (verses 7-8)
They worshipped God in name, but not in love — walking in external rites while their hearts were far from Him.
+ St. Augustine of Hippo

Personal Reflection
God sent prophets and gave warnings, but Israel refused to turn back. Do I sometimes hold on to religious appearance while ignoring God’s voice? What does true repentance look like in my life?

Bible Knowledge Question
What specific sins did Israel commit that led to their exile under the Assyrians?

Prayer
Lord, keep me from practicing spirituality with no love, no thought and no inntention. Teach me to love You with my whole heart, not just my habits. Help me hear Your voice and return to You before my heart grows cold.
