Morning Devotional December 23, 2020

 

Jeremiah 6:15-17

15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

16 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.

17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.”

As we near the end of another year, and as we are in the midst of the time of year that many will say there is a time of peace, we see anything but peace in our land. We are a country where God's people want to claim “One Nation Under God”, yet have a greater desire to live in abomination to the God they want to claim.

We have seen the “old paths” and old ways being destroyed by the wicked and many of God's people follow right along. We have witnessed a lack of faith in God amongst His churches when it came to an illness that has proven to be no worse than any other we have seen. And like Israel, God has sent watchmen who have sounded the trumpet of warning but the people, God's people, “will not hearken.”

The Godly heritage and foundations of our once great Republic are being ripped to shreds by those who desire to see an end to God's very memory among our nation. They desire a new nation without God or His Son Jesus Christ. And sadly God's own people seem to love to have it so. We are so wrapped up in our abominations we no longer care for the “old paths”. In the name of “Peace” we have given away all the hard fought liberties and freedoms we as a people have taken for granted. Will we fall like Israel and Judah? We are coming, rapidly, upon a day when I believe we will find out.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus”!!!

Praise ye the Lord!!!
