When we treat God like a stranger, He eventually becomes one.
7 The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,but help us for the sake of Your own reputation.We have turned away from You and sinned against You again and again.8 O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,why are You like a stranger to us?Why are You like a traveler passing through the land,stopping only for the night?9 Are You also confused?Is our champion helpless to save us?You are right here among us, Lord.We are known as Your people.Please don’t abandon us now!” 10 So this is what the Lord says to His people:“You love to wander far from Me and do not restrain yourselves.Therefore, I will no longer accept you as My people. Now I will remember all your wickedness and will punish you for your sins.”
Jeremiah 14:7-10
