Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Jeremiah 1-3.
Israel is in trouble again because they have turned their backs on God and are serving false gods. They are ignoring His laws and He is not happy with them. He calls Jeremiah to be a prophet, to speak to Israel on His behalf.
And He offers them forgiveness, because He is merciful, if only they will acknowledge their sins and ask forgiveness.
And that is very encouraging.
Even if we don't sin on that large of a scale - a whole people, we all sin. Sometimes we don't mean to, and other times we think "What will it hurt?"
But when we mess up, all we need to do is ask God sincerely to forgive us and He will, because He loves us, and He is merciful. He knows we are only human. He knows we will make mistakes. And He is willing to forgive us when we acknowledge our sin.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Jeremiah 4-6.
