TOPIC: A Call To Depend On God
TEXT: Jeremiah 9:12-24(NKJV)
God is again reminding the people of Judah, that they had forsaken His statutes and had rather followed the dictates of their own hearts and Baal (vv. 13-14). God promised to reward them with bitter judgment and exile. Jeremiah was frightened by the prophetic vision of impending doom that was to come upon the disobedient and sinful Judah.
They depended on their own capabilities and not on God. The sinful nature of the people of Judah had reached the climax and it was obvious that God was angry and would bring disaster upon them. Yet, they appeared undisturbed. God demanded that they know Him and His attributes of loving-kindness, justice and righteousness (v. 24).
The Scripture admonishes us not to glory in vain and transient material things but (rather) to glory in the understanding and knowledge of the Lord. Your capabilities will fail you – wealth, fame, power, knowledge, etc., but God does not fail (1 Sam. 2:9; Heb. 13:8).
Confess your total dependence on Him today and He will show you love, justice and righteousness.
PRAYER: Holy God, I surrender my will to Your Will. Guide and show me Your love in all my ways through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
