TODAY’S TOPIC: Think forward, resists failure
Text: Jeremiah 8:4-10 (NIV):
"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.
8:7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
8:8 "'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
8:9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?
8:10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit."
SHOWER (Reflection):
In this life do not allow yourself to remain stagnated or backslided. You should always strive to return or relaunch yourself after failure. One fails to win again just as a seed dies to beget trees. Let failure propels you to work hard to achieve greater result later. This is possible when you don't allow your circumstances to control you. God is not happy with those who refused to make move for a greater tomorrow. He hates deceits, faithlessness and unseriousness. That is why He decided to punish His people in today's teaching.
