These wicked people
Jeremiah 13:1-27
‘These wicked people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them will be…completely useless ‘(10). Are you on the way to becoming ‘completely useless? Each of us must think about what’s been happening in our lives. – ‘Where is the blessedness I knew when first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill’. We need to pray for real change. We need to pray for ‘a closer walk with God’: ‘Return, O Holy Dove!…The dearest idol I have known…Help me to tear it from Thy throne, and worship only Thee. So shall my walk be close with God…’ (Church Hymnary, 663).
