Jeremiah 8:4 to 9:15;
Father of lights, we must not lose understanding of Your pure simplicity. We must not attempt to redefine You into what is essentially our own fallen image. Father, this is exactly what is being done far too often. It was done in Jeremiah’s day, and it is done in our day. The sad thing is that this is not so much a problem among the pagans, as it is among Your people. We are addicted to earthly amusements and the only way that many of us can enjoy worship is by corrupting it with the incorporation of enhancements that tickle our fancies. But the problem is, what excites us today, will bore us tomorrow. We are amusing ourselves to death. The only answer is to repent – to turn. Our only passion should be to know You in all of Your actuality. And this can only be done through Your Word and prayer. Teach us to love Your Word and Your presence. Glorious Father, thank You for Jesus. Amen.
