Lord, Your Word challenges us to think seriously about ourselves ...
Jeremiah 13:1-27
‘These wicked
people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of
their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them will be…
completely useless’ (Jeremiah 13:10). Lord, Your Word challenges us to
think seriously about ourselves: Am I on the way to becoming ‘completely
useless’? Each of us must think about what’s been happening in our
lives – ‘Where is the blessedness I knew when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? What peaceful
hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left
an aching void the world can never fill.’ Teach us, Lord, to pray for real
change – for ‘a closer walk’ with You: ‘Return, O Holy Dove!… The
dearest idol I have known… Help me to tear it from Thy throne, and
worship only Thee. So shall my walk be close with God…’
