Jeremiah 7: 1-20 ~ Jérémie 7:1-20

Bad news

The Jews, Jeremiah is speaking to, do not take their relationship with the Lord seriously. They talk a lot, but their deeds are not in accordance with their words. They seem to think that God will be pleased and they themselves will be okay if they use the magic phrase ‘This is the temple of the Lord.‘ 

God does not feel loved and respected by his people.

Does worshipping other gods apply to us as well? Do we take care of the poor and the strangers, not as something to earn God’s love, but as a logical consequence of what we believe in? Do we find time to pray to God, for ourselves and others? Do we take time to marvel over God’s faithfulness in our every day life? Often times, I am busy doing this and that and really need to remind myself to take some moments of quiet and peace.



God voelt zich door zijn volk als voetveeg behandeld. Laten wij onze relatie met God ook versloffen, of beseffen we dat het een groot voorrecht is om een persoonlijke God te kennen die ons begrijpt en van ons houdt?
