Jérémie 7:21-34
In this
passage, we are shown a people that God loved who did not trust Him enough to
obey Him or follow His lead. Instead, driven by their fear, anxiety, lack
of trust in God and evil inclinations, they turned to their own devices and
brought great sadness and turmoil to themselves. Whatever tragedy, evil
or sadness we experience, it is hardly ever due to a direct act from God, but
it is often a result of man’s refusal to listen to God’s voice in his
conscience, in God’s word or in the voice of others or even due to foolish acts
that result from a lack of trust in the power of God to see him through times
of difficulty and challenge.
May we be quiet in our spirits, and call upon God
when we are in trying and difficult situations, being willing to obey and
follow His direction. For only then can we receive divine wisdom and
strength to follow a more wholesome path.
