“Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 6:16

Jer 6:13 13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
In what ways am I also covetous ? All of Christendom appears to be infected with this idolatrous sin. We want all we don’t have and go after any form of thought or practice we think will bring us benefit.I may not be baking cakes for the queen of heaven but am I truly content with such as the true LORD has blessed me with? Am I content with my job? No not really. Am I content with my house? No, I am usually thinking of ways to improve it. Am I content with plain food or do I desire all organic food brought from far away? Yes I do remember the Proverbs 31 wife brining food from afar, but at what cost? Shall the world go without Bibles that I may live in luxury ?
Is not the widespread obesity and indebtedness just an outward sign of idolatry?
My prayer and meditation today is on the goodness of my Savior. How excellent are His ways. He will supply all my need and I can rest in Him.

Thank you for providing me valuable thoughts for my own life this morning.

Yes, Amen! This is so challenging when we have easy access to so many things. I was struck by the lack of obedience in Jeremiah, but also how Paul exhorted the Roman church for their obedience. It is key to staying on track with the Lord: hearing and obeying.

Took me time to read all of the feedback, but I actually loved the article. It proved to be very useful to me and I am sure to all the commenters here! It is always good when you can’t solely learn, but in addition engaged! I’m sure you had pleasure writing this article. Anyway, in my language, there aren’t a lot good source like this.

What an honor (that went against the customs and traditions of the day ) it was for Paul to list specific women for recognition and praise. Jesus loves women and they can and do mighty works for the Kingdom

Amen!

I love the words in Romans 16:27 “to the only wise God.” Especially with all of the OT readings where we see people repeatedly turning to gods they create. He is the only God, wise and powerful. Even today though, it’s easy to replace our need for God wit things that bring us temporary satisfaction. I have been thinking about that a lot as we read through the OT. It’s easy to judge them for stepping away from the Lord..but don’t we do the same, just in a different manner? Today I am thankful that we worship and study the word of “the only wise God..” Can I get an amen? ;-)

AMEN!!

The problem: 5 Why then has this people turned away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return…22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
The solution: 25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ…26…made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen
God, In Christ, by the Holy Spirit brings about the obedience of faith. So thankful for a God who redeems and restores- who remains faithful to make a way when we are faithless!

Amen! Don’t you love God has made the scriptures to be so complete, we lack nothing that pertains to life and godliness. It’s all here for us, in black and white (and red)!

We need to take notice of these warnings, individually and as a nation. God will still punish the disobedient.
