Scripture: Jeremiah 11: 4
4 For I said to your ancestors when I brought them out of the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt, “If you obey me and do whatever I command you, then you will be my people, and I will be your God.”
Scripture Commentary: God tell us, “you will be my people.”
God’s told the people in Jeremiah’s day that if they obeyed Him, “then you will be my people, and I will be your God.” This same covenant is still with us today. We either obey God’s laws or we don’t.
In Jeremiah 14, God tells Jeremiah, “Pray no more for these people, Jeremiah. Do not weep or pray for them, for I will not listen to them when they cry out to me in distress.” Do not be so caught up in the world that God no longer listens to you.
Repentence is the pathway to God. Stop. Turn from your sins. Ask God for forgiveness. Don’t continue to pray to God and live a sinful life. God’s blessings flow when we are committed to Him, not when we selfishly stay in the world of sin.
