day after day after day

"Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble. For you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah. ... Does a maiden forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number." Jeremiah 2

I thought about these words in my own life this morning. As I sit in my living room this Saturday morning, enjoying my coffee and quiet time with God and in the Word I have to take a look into my own life and wonder what gods I have made for myself. Certainly I can look back in my life and think of many things that were way too important. What is it for you?

It might boil down to those times when you are in trouble. Is it only then that you reach out to God? Do you forget about God during the good times and profitable times in life? I love how God points out about a woman not forgetting her ornaments on her wedding day. So true - but don't you hear the sadness as he writes the last line? It's enough that the people have forgotten him, but "days without number." Not just at certain times but day after day after day after day. I imagine God's longing for us. I imagine his love for us - I imagine how we daily ignore him. We spend our day without him - oh he is there - but as the above passage says - we forget him.

One of my friends posted this video recently and I want to share it today. You can watch as much of it as you like but it surely inspired me. This little girl must be about 5 and listen how she is already interceding in prayer - spending time with Jesus. Obviously her parents have trained her early and I think it so precious and beautiful. Faith like a child - she prays believing. How would you like her to pray for you? Amen!!! And I love her mom in the background!!!



If you have gone way too long forgetting about Jesus just stop - get quiet - open up your bible - read - pray - ask him to speak to you - Malachi 3:7 says "Return to me and I will return to you" says the Lord Almighty" You are loved and longed for by the Almighty God. It can't get any better than that.
