So I was about ready to just vent and pretty much be like - "I hate reading through Jeremiah." Hate. I know it's a strong word, and may be even be sinful to mention. It's kinda the truth. At this point I'm pushing through for the shear discipline. The friend that I'm joining in on with this effort agreed with me.
That all was until I read this gem. I really like it and what it means for our worship. Read on...
I will certainly bring my people back again from all the countries where I will scatter them in my fury. I will bring them back to this very city and let them live in peace and safety.38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.39 And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.41 I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land.
Does God place a desire in our hearts to worship him? I think so. He has surely made a covenant (promise) with us as well. I'm grateful that God has pursued me and longs to have a relationship with me...even if I don't always enjoy reading his Word.
