PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH AND NATION
May the nation, the person, who abandons God turn back to him (Jer2:14-19). #Repent #TurnToGod
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
The nation of Judah (God’s people) had slipped into dependence upon military might and alliances with other nations for their defense. This instead of dependence upon God. When one turns their back on God the only thing left is self-reliance and/or dependence on others for help. That never works out.
Further, this self-reliance is a full on rejection of God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. He promises here that Judah (anyone who turns on God) will realize how evil and bitter a thing it is to abandon God. It is clear that any nation or person abandoning, rejecting God’s guiding hand (v17) is at risk of experiencing dire consequences.
