TODAY’S TOPIC: Return before is late
Text: Jeremiah 8:1-6 (NIV):
"8:1. At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
8:2. They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.
8:3. Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'
8:4. "Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: "'When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return?
8:5. Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.
8:6. I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Repentance is a time for sobber reflection. God has given us enough time to retract our footsteps and follow Him alone. That is; re (continuous changing from good to best). It is unfortunate that most of us don't want to turn away from evil. God has presented us with another opportunity.
