FOOLED

We can get lulled into a false sense of security. Just as many may believe they are “Christian” because they were born in a “Christian” country as the United States once was.

Hear the word of the Lord through the prophet Jeremiah…

⁸“‘Don’t be fooled into thinking that you will never suffer because the Temple is here. It’s a lie! ⁹Do you really think you can steal, murder, commit adultery, lie, and burn incense to Baal and all those other new gods of yours, ¹⁰and then come here and stand before me in my Temple and chant, “We are safe!”—only to go right back to all those evils again? Jeremiah 7:8 - 10 (NLT)

Now substitute the word “church” for the word “temple” and read the paragraph again. It’s a powerful reminder that we need to “live” for Jesus, trying to be more like Him, all the time and not just on Sundays and Wednesdays!

Don’t be fooled into thinking that everything is cool between you and God if you’re just going through the motions. Get straight with Him now and walk in the path that He would set before you.

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD
