“I had planted you like a choice vine
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt, wild vine?” Jeremiah 2:21

2 Kings 17:13 “They also built stone images of foreign gods and set up sacred poles for the worship of Asherah on every hill and under every shady tree.”

Now, how many hills are in California? And how many trees are in Washington? That’s how many idols we might have. I talk about myself. I felt so convicted.

God is so graceful and merciful, I do not deserve His love. Then He goes on and tells Jeremiah about our devotion to Him, about our love as a bride, when we would follow Him in the wilderness, in a land not sown. (Jeremiah 2:2).

His passionate, romantic speech after our adulterous behavior was so alluring, and made me wonder why did I ever go after other gods, why didn’t I or don’t I trust Him enough that He will come through for me?

I can say that I’m under construction, and sometimes I fail, and go back to the cross and start over again. He is the fountain of living water, he is the one who satisfies my soul.

I pray that God continues to bless you where you are, and that your fire for Him will not be put off by any trials or temptations.

God says: “Be mine”. What  do you say?
