Leviticus 26:42 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 26:42

40 ‘But ^aif they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
if their ^auncircumcised hearts are ^bhumbled, and they ^caccept their guilt—

42 then I will ^aremember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember;
I will ^bremember the land.

43 ^aThe land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them;
they will accept their guilt, because they ^bdespised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^aI will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them;
for I am the Lord their God.

45 But ^afor their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, ^bwhom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^cin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God:
I am the Lord.’ ”

46 ^aThese are the statutes and judgments and laws which the Lord made between Himself and the children of Israel ^bon Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Leviticus 26:40-45

Instead of blaming somebody else, this is what God suggests:

So, God's suggestion in times of distress and catastrophe, and disaster is to confess our guilt. Not to point the finger of blame at somebody else, and accuse them of being the cause of this, that, or the other thing; but to confess that we have had a part in it. And then, God will remember us.

He may not provide the way out immediately. If you would notice, as we went through here it seems to say that there will be a lag between our confession and His restoration of us, but if we do confess that we had a part to play in it, He will be certain to remember, and restore us in His time.

Excerpted from Responding to Catastrophe

Leviticus 26:40-45

Even after hundreds and thousands of years, and the Israelites do all kinds of terrible things against God, He still says, “If they repent, and turn back to Me, I will remember them, and bring them back.” That is the kind of God we have. He is a faithful God.
