The book of Jeremiah chapter 2 : beginning with verse 26. We find God speaking to Israel through Jeremiah the prophet. Israel has gone astray, again. We find them ashamed. The prophets,princes, kings. God says they are as a thief when he is found. Verse 27 God says they worship their rock and stone gods,idols etc. He knows them. He says when they get in trouble they will call to Him(God) for Him to save them.But the Lord gets sarcastic with them....ask them why don't you call on your gods of rock and stone to save you? God tells them that they have as many false gods as they have cities . Wow! Then God says why don't you plead with me? The Lord has deep feelings for Israel. And Israel hurt His feelings. He reminds them in verse 31 that He has always been their, not a dark wilderness. Oh my goodness. Please continue to read the rest of chapter 2...and then chapter 3. This my friends is all about how mankind, especially God's elect have mi
It brings to mind my own life. Over 6 and a half decades. This story is a story of many backslidings and many returns to the Lord. What mercy He has shown me. God even told Israel and Judah is verse 35 that He would plead with them because they said they had not sinned.
God says we have committed adultery with other interest, we have committed idolatry by placing someone or some things ahead of Him. I am afraid this is what has happened to Christ church in America. We must have a new touch of the Holy Ghost. I can recall days past when a backslider would just stop coming to church. Now I believe we have that but many backsliders are coming to church every week. America needs help today. And God is waiting for us to repent...humble ourselves and then He will hear from heaven and heal our land.
He has and continues to forgive and heal Israel and He will His church.God bless and till next time. I love you and So does Jesus who is the Express Image of God. Amen.
