91 Jeremiah 2:19 Auto-Correction
JMD Devotional 91 Jeremiah 2:19 Auto-Correction
Your own wickedness shall chasten and correct you, and your backslidings and desertion of faith shall reprove you. Know therefore and recognize that this is an evil and bitter thing: [first,] you have forsaken the Lord your God; [second,] you are indifferent to Me and the fear of Me is not in you, says the Lord of hosts.
The God designed the Universe for righteousness. Like an automotive engine, it may not be obvious why different fluids are required for each system; transmission fluid, brake fluid, oil and gasoline; but swap any two of them and your car is ruined! The one who designed has the right and responsibility to lay out the procedures. There are actions to avoid as well as deliberate actions to take, periodic necessary maintenance, which if neglected, manifests itself in degraded performance. God's moral law is inflexible and unforgiving; there will be a consequence for each transgression which will play out in your life. Persist in sin, and it will be obvious to everyone that you are not following the 'manual.'
Dear God,
Only a distorted view of God would lead one to think that You are trying to trick us. You have made the right path plain and simple; only our duplicity complicates life. I know your heart's desire is for it to go well with your children, that You want us to succeed. Success is being the person You called us to be, and doing your will. Please incline our obstinate minds to accept your Word as our manual for life.
Amen
