My People have Forgotten Me...

Jeremiah 2:32 "Yet My people have forgotten Me...."

Welcome to Devotion no. 4: Forgetting God

Some Bibles actually title this passage of scripture, .."The sin of forgetting God".

Jeremiah lays the blame of all their wickedness upon forgetting God.

I know all too well the feeling of rejection that comes with being forgotten.

Hosea 2:23 (c) "Then I will say to those who were not My people, You are My people!" And they will say, "You are my God".

This is not just your friend or partner, But God that has been forgotten by those for whom He died and sacrificed everything.

For the Christian:

Have you forgotten to spend time with God or has the business of living swallowed up and rationalised what is priority for you? God is saying, "My People" those who know Him and not the unsaved.

For the Seekers;

God loves you and has a plan for you. The bible says that Jesus Christ, God's Son laid down His life for you by dying on the cross and taking the sin of the world upon Him. God loves you so much, in that while we were still sinners (living without Him) He sent Jesus Christ to redeem you. If you ask Jesus Christ into your heart today. He will change you and make you whole.

The words...My people....are.... very personal.

MEDITATION:

The people's forgetfulness grieved God. He does not deserved to be treated like this.

QUESTION:

What daily reminders have you put in place to cultivate a relationship with God? I'm thinking of a song:" He was there all the time waiting patiently in love..."
