Jeremiah 6:16-19
“Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein,
and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But
they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O
congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon
this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened
unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.”
The Words of our Lord to the prophet
Jeremiah were for the nation of Israel. Yet we see in the United States today a
very simular situation where a people who claim to be a “nation under God” have
denied the very God they claim as their own. Like the nation of Israel spoken
of here our nation has followed after false prophets and preachers of false doctrine
into the worship of a false god. Tolerance for sin has run rampied for so long
that many today do not recoginize sin and refuse to hear the law of God
concerning sin.
We cannot watch television or listen to the
radio or look at bill boards on the street without being exposed to some of the
most hainis sins ever to enter the minds and hearts of man. And yet we as God's
people sit back and watch television programs and listen to music on the radio
and laugh at the signs on the street that are promoting the very sins our Lord
warned us to stay away from.
Remember we are His children. He told us to
be seperate from this world. He told us not to follow after this world. So why
do we? Because, even though we are His children we still love sin. We still live
in a sinful flesh. Is that a good excuse? Of course not! Because we are the
children of God we should desire His ways and desire to please Him and only
Him.
We must stop following after the world and
start following after our Heavenly Father. We see our world falling deeper and
deeper into sin and farther and farther away from the laws of God. Cling to
Him!!! Our Lord is our only hope. Put all your trust in Him and flee from the
world. As children of God we must stop living in sin and start living for our
Lord. We must start showing the world who we are and whom's we are!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
