“Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations?
(Jeremiah 7:8-10 ESV)
Perhaps the other gods we go to are money, our job, the gym and a plethora of other things. Are we really followers or are we just saying we are. Are we alive on the outside but dead on the in?
Sometimes my focus has been on my job over my relationship with the Lord, there have been times where I have focused on more money. There have been times where I prayed just to go through the motion but really wasn't in it, but continued to act like everything was going great between God and I.
I hope that by reading this verse you were able to reflect. May God's blessings be upon you all.
