Where are your Gods?
23017
Jeremiah 2:28,29 The Context: God called Jeremiah to be a prophet in the end times of the Jewish nation of Judah. The several Kings who ruled Judah from Jerusalem failed, along with the priests and the people to heed God’s warnings about His broken heart and displeasure with their idolatry. Like the nations around them they chose to seek and serve man-made gods. As they turned their back on the GOD who had loved and blessed them so abundantly their hardships only increased. Threatened by the Babylonians they hoped for help from Egypt and it never came.
God Asks Us: “But where are your gods that you made for yourself? Let them arise, if they can save you, in your time of trouble; for as many as your cities are your gods, O Judah. 29 “Why do you contend with me? You have all transgressed against me, declares the Lord.
JNE: America, like Israel of old has turned our back on the God Who has blessed us so abundantly. We have chosen to serve a multitude of other gods of selfishness and pleasure. We are looking to godless politicians, and various counterfeit gods to rescue us from the destruction that looms before us. Greater than our need for national peace and prosperity is our individual and collective need to know again the God of our founding and sustaining. We all as individuals have participated in idolatry and our only True Hope is to repent and turn to the God Who alone can rescue us.
