“And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me.”
Jeremiah 16:12
Here God is bringing judgement upon Judah and He gives the reason why. If He did not spare His chosen people He will not spare our day in which many are doing the same thing!!!

“Inasmuch as there is none like You, O Lord (You are great, and Your name is great in might), Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.”
Jeremiah 10:6-7
Yes Lord! None like you! I will praise you for eternity!
Tom
“The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord; So what wisdom do they have?”
Jeremiah 8:9
Reject God’s Word and you have no wisdom! Judah did and faced the consequences and we will too if we reject and don’t obey God’s Word!

““If you will return, O Israel,” says the Lord, “Return to Me; And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, Then you shall not be moved. And you shall swear, ‘The Lord lives,’ In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; The nations shall bless themselves in Him, And in Him they shall glory.””
Jeremiah 4:1-2
The call for all nations! Repent and come and admit who the Lord is! Then in him be glorified!!!
Come!!!

“The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.”
Nahum 1:7
God knows who trusts in Him and those who don’t. He will take care of those who truly trust in Him! That is a comforting thought!
Tom
“So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.”
II Chronicles 33:9
While King, Manasseh did this. How sad. May we look at our own lives and be careful not to lead others away from God by anything we say or do! May we draw them closer to the Lord by being like Jesus and letting His light shine through us!
“But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
I truly can not count the amount of times God has renewed my strength from sickness, from sorrow, and a number of other things! Thank you Lord and I will always wait for You!
