Scripture: Jeremiah 4: 1-2

“If you, Israel, will return, then return to me,” declares the Lord.  “If you put your detestable idols out of my sight and no longer go astray, and if in a truthful, just and righteous way you swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ then the nations will invoke blessings by him and in him they will boast.”

Scripture Commentary: Return to the Lord, your God.

Jeremiah told the people to break up the hardness of their hearts and return to God’s will. They needed to remove their sin so that God’s commands could take root.

Likewise, we must remove the sin that hardens our hearts against the Lord. If we resist God’s word then it will not take root and grow in our hearts, and we will not truly walk with him.

We say we love God, but do we live by his ways and his law? Do we spread his word and testify to what he has done in our lives so that people will know that God is in our hearts?

Only you and God know the answers to these questions, and only you can make a change in yourself to welcome him.
