Leaving Him...Not!

Thus says the LORD:
​
​​“What injustice have your fathers found in Me,
​​That they have gone far from Me,
​​Have followed idols,
​​And have become idolaters?  Jeremiah 2:5

It seems to be a part of our history from near the beginning. God gives something and the humans wander far from Him. The Garden of Eden was given to Adam and Eve, and they grabbed the first sin. Noah and family were given a washed Earth, later there was more sin. Israel was given a promised land, and they too went far away from the Lord as we read in our verse today. Finally, God sent His Son, Jesus, and through Him we may have eternal life just for believing in Him. But still many wander far from Him. Jesus will return here and reign for a thousand years, but what happens at the end of that period? Yes, some will go off with the Accuser and wander away one more time. So, the Word establishes that this has happened and will again. What is the point to remember? That all along the way, many do not wander off and some still seek Him out, including you and me!

Have a wonderful Thursday in Him who is named Wonderful!
