Jeremiah 17:19-27
God requires Israel to start keeping the Sabbath as a time of worship to Him and not concentrating on their business affairs. This morning the Lord spoke to my heart to share this with my readers, so in the interest of obedience here it is.
"God's emphasis on the Sabbath draws attention to an attitude of the heart. The people of Israel are more interested in making money than worship, they focus on self, not on God. Their entire society chose physical wealth over spiritual security.
In America today, the people of God focus more on wealth than worship. They, like Israel, want stuff and not God's Kingdom. They seek silver and gold yet do not seek God's face or His ways. The change that we see in America today has been largely by the choice of the ones who claim to be believers, God's Word and Ways have not changed! If we put our focus on God, seek Him, Turn our whole being toward Him, He will bless and restore. If we, as Israel, turn a deaf ear and fail to heed His many warnings, then we will face His judgement, and it always starts at the door of His house.
We are 2 kingdoms in conflict, God's Kingdom, or the world, we must be faithful ambassadors, for Him so that He can Heal our land and bring peace again!
Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
