Jeremiah 6:9-30
‘Their
ears are closed… The Word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find
no pleasure in it’ (Jeremiah 6:10). Sometimes, Lord, we feel like
we’re ‘hitting our head off a brick wall’. So few people show any real
interest in hearing and obeying Your Word. It seems like Your Word is
‘going in one ear and out the other.’ It would be so easy for us just to
‘settle down’, to start ‘taking it easy.’ This is what so many people
do: ‘They dress the wound of My people as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace”, they say, when there is no peace’ (Jeremiah 6:13-14).
Help us, Lord, to be faithful to You – not to settle for being popular
with those whom You have ‘rejected’ (Jeremiah 6:30).
