You can do that right now and be so blessed of your Father

Though He uses Satan as His rod of correction, God is not a "liberal", and He takes full responsibility for the chastisement of His children. In fact, we will soon discover in the Book of Joel that God calls Satan and his locust army that comes against our people, HIS army, for He allows it, just as He allows the adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, to devour whom he may!
Hosea 5:14
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
The plan of salvation involves some severe chastisement, some hard lessons to be learned, some tough love, doesn't it? But it is designed in His love as the means to turn lemons into lemonade and cause His children to turn Him of their own free will. He will not force us to love Him. Therefore, He is "longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"(2 Peter 3:9).

So He patiently awaits in His place:

Hosea 5:15
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
In that day when their moth eaten garments disintegrate and they stand naked before Him and acknowledge their shame (offence) then shall the adulterous Gomer, the 10 Tribes of the House of Israel, return unto Him and seek Him early, i.e. first.

But you can do that right now and be so blessed of your Father that He will see to it that you have need of nothing!

It is written:

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
