I was reading in Jeremiah this morning of how the people of the tribe of Judah refused to give up their idol worship, and serve God. They believed that God could not give them what the queen of heaven could. They had no faith in God whatsoever.
Jer 44:17
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
Jer 44:18
But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Jer 44:19
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Jer 44:17
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
Jer 44:18
But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Jer 44:19
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Are not the people of this date and age doing the same thing? Putting worldly possessions above spiritual blessings. Most people have their hands out, waiting for the next possession to come their way. These people, whom, enough is never enough. When they get our homes over stocked with stuff, they build, buy or even rent storage buildings to keep the over flow in. Even though they have everything they need, and lots of stuff they don't need, still they're never happy.
What makes a person happy is a relationship with the Lord. Some people, especially unsaved ones, will never know the joy that is in the heart of us who have Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Jesus is all you'll ever need! He will supply all your needs.
Unless of course you're like the people in Jeremiah's time, and don't care about the spiritual, and only care about the carnal.
Oh lost world, Oh lost world, please come back to God, please come to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Before it's too late.
Until next time God bless and God save.
