Jeremiah 8 - Day 658 (link to reading)
Scripture: Jeremiah 8:4-5 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): It’s a great question. Why don’t people turn back? Why don’t WE turn back? The thing is, some people will never learn until the Lord fights against them. It sounds so brutal, but it’s true. Just take a moment and consider the battles that you have fought and what it took for God to finally wrestle you down on them. When this happens with me, I don’t listen to people. I suppress the Holy Spirit and justify my behavior. I get defensive and become emotional. Some even justify it by twisting Scripture. In the end, the Lord allowed me to experience deep heartache and sorrow that led to repentance. Application: Obstinate, headstrong, stiff neck, unbending, etc. - been there, done that. Why? I'm in control, even if it means that I'm destroying my life, at least I'm making the decisions. Prayer: Lord, thank You for being merciful and gracious... Comments are closed.
