Wednesday 11th March ~ Jeremiah 13.1-11 ~ Becoming a belt! ~ Jérémie 13.1-11

Psalm 38 ~ Psaumes 38

Hebrews 6.13-end ~ Hébreux 6.13-end

John 8.12-30 ~ Jean 8.12-30




When I first read this passage I was getting more and more bewildered until

verse 9 when it all became clear. If I was in Jeremiah shoes I would be

thinking the following. Why is God getting me to do these silly things: buying

a pair of shorts or a belt (depending on translation) and look ridiculous,

followed by hiding them in the river thus making them unwearable.

We need to try and achieve God’s original goal namely being close and

faithful to Him and of course only worship Him. This isn’t always as easy in

today’s world with all the distractions everywhere. That’s why we need to try

and be better than the people of Israel and Judah and stay part of the shorts

or belt.

We moeten proberen om sterker van wil te zijn dat de mensen van Israël en

Juda en deel van de gordel blijven.
