Jeremiah 7:23-28
Thus says the LORD:
This is what I commanded my people:
Listen to my voice;
then I will be your God and you shall be my people.
Walk in all the ways that I command you,
so that you may prosper.
But they obeyed not, nor did they pay heed.
They walked in the hardness of their evil hearts
and turned their backs, not their faces, to me.
From the day that your fathers left the land of Egypt even to this day,
I have sent you untiringly all my servants the prophets.
Yet they have not obeyed me nor paid heed;
they have stiffened their necks and done worse than their fathers.
When you speak all these words to them,
they will not listen to you either;
when you call to them, they will not answer you.
Say to them:
This is the nation that does not listen
to the voice of the LORD, its God,
or take correction.
Faithfulness has disappeared;
the word itself is banished from their speech.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for the peaceful resolution to the jobs dispute in France.
God gives us so many gifts. When I think of the gifts that He has given us in the prophets of the Old Testament and saints that followed Christ, I am grateful for their obedience to God in proclaiming His word and in living His truth.
Today, let's be grateful for their example, and in gratitude, let us turn our hearts to God just as the prophets proclaimed and the saints lived. Let's be "His". Take care and God Bless.
