Text:Jeremiah 3:1-5
[1]“If a man divorces a woman
and she goes and marries someone else,
he will not take her back again,
for that would surely corrupt the land.
But you have prostituted yourself with many lovers,
so why are you trying to come back to me?”
says the lord.
[2]“Look at the shrines on every hilltop.
Is there any place you have not been defiled
by your adultery with other gods?
You sit like a prostitute beside the road waiting for a customer.
You sit alone like a nomad in the desert.
You have polluted the land with your prostitution
and your wickedness.
[3]That’s why even the spring rains have failed.
For you are a brazen prostitute and completely shameless.
[4]Yet you say to me,
‘Father, you have been my guide since my youth.
[5]Surely you won’t be angry forever!
Surely you can forget about it!’
So you talk,
but you keep on doing all the evil you can.”
Message
The message version records Vs 1 as, ' if a man's wife walks out of him and marries another man, can he take her back as if nothing had happened? We sure can have Yes for an answer, if the Mrs in question truly has repented. While we try to justify ourselves with abstaining for a while and concluding it has not been easy, the holy Spirit rather advised we *flee* from all appearance of evil. Fleeing doesn't imply you are a coward.
While we claim to be emotionally stable, intelligent, civilized, or contextual have we not defile the hilltop of our business with cheat and insincerity, our body with adultery, our heart with thought unnecessary, our eye with things inappropriate or our hear with things that doesn't concern us.
Our success is dependent on our act practically or theoretically wise, God has just been everly merciful but if we fail to stay with him could he have been blamed for our failures
We have a Father, who is willing and ready to forgive. Come! even now, he is waiting.
Action Point: Repent now
Prayer point: Don't be through with me yet lord. Please help me faithful. Amen
