“Stand At The
Crossroads And Look”
They dress the wound
of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when
there is no peace.
Are they ashamed of
their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know
how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down
when I punish them," says the LORD.
This is what the LORD
says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask
where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, 'We will not walk in it.'
I appointed watchmen
over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you
said, 'We will not listen.'
Therefore hear, O nations; observe, O witnesses, what will happen to
them.
Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the
fruit of their schemes, because they have
not listened to my words and have rejected my law.
What do I care about
incense from
Jeremiah
6:14-20
No matter what our
problems are, we cannot fix them. We are only human. God, on the other hand,
can fix them, in His way, in His time. Be patient.
The parts of our
lives that we have tried and failed to repair can be restored by the hand of
God. Through faith in Christ, we can be made whole.
When God
forgives, He removes the sin and restores the soul.
