Jeremiah 3:12-15, “Return, faithless Israel, says the LORD. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, says the LORD; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God, and scattered your favors among strangers under every green tree, and have not obeyed my voice, says the LORD. Return, O faithless children, says the LORD, for I am your master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
Jeremiah spoke these words of God to a people who had departed from God and seemingly had no interest in returning. We live in a Nation today where the leaders want no mention of God and have no interest in following God. Our elected leaders only want to follow the prurient desires of power and will align him or her with those who will keep her or him in power and privilege. Most of these who are elected cannot succeed anywhere else and seek to destroy free enterprise, free thought and free choice. It’s time that they turn to God. I don’t say turn back to or return to God for these do not appear to have a relationship with God. The spiritual trouble that waits is devastating and the damage that they are causing and fomenting is horrific. Woe be unto them!
Prayer: Loving God, thank You for today and for Jesus who redeems us. Create in our elected leaders a heart for You and for their sworn obligation. Develop and stir within our leaders the foundational desire to create and have a place where freedom and justice for all is revered and seen as sourced in You. We pray this in the powerful Name of Jesus. AMEN!
