Jeremiah 3:6-4:31
In considering the first few chapters of Jeremiah three years ago, I concentrated on Jeremiah 3:6-11. You might want to read that post first. I’ll wait…
The questions I posed then are still very much worth considering now: Are we, in fact, devoted to the LORD with our whole heart? Or only in pretense?
If answering those questions makes us at all uncomfortable, then perhaps we need to pay that much closer attention to what Jeremiah has to say. We need to look and see how we might be like Israel and Judah, how we, too, might need to return to the LORD. For it is in the LORD alone that we have life. All else is illusory.
So listen today to how the LORD urges His people to return to Him. Listen to what He tells His people to do and consider what that means for you personally. Is there anything in you that needs to change? Have you wandered away from Him? Do you need to return?
