—Jeremiah 5:14-19
by: Paula Davis.
There are always a consequences for sin. Just as a parent disciplines his child for disobedience, the Lord disciplines His people. If you are His child, you have experienced this discipline and the consequences for your sin. At times, the discipline seems severe and we feel separated from the Lord, just Israel must have in the days of Jeremiah. In these times, we can be sure God’s heart is aching, longing for us to turn back to Him in repentance. But until we do, He must stand firm. When we are ready to turn away from our sin and back to God, we will find His arms open wide, ready to forgive and welcome us back into fellowship with Him.
