Jeremiah 5:1-9:26
What God said to me – Even today people do not know My requirements. They have rejected My word because it is offensive to them. People have Bibles laying around their homes, but they never open My word. They have no heart for Me or the things I love and desire. You must learn from this. Listen to Me and pay attention. I don’t want lip service. I want committed lives. The world offers so many distractions to tempt the soul not wholly devoted to Me. It’s so easy to say – “I’m tired” or “I desire this” or “there’s nothing really wrong with that”. Before you realize it, you are going backward and not forward . . . you’ve moved away from Me and towards the world. Be on guard. Be diligent so you won’t be distracted. Focus on Me.
