What does Jeremiah 2:28 mean? →

Passage Context

26As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
30In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

Devotional Reflection

FearShame

Let's think about a simple idea today. Who or what is our god based on how we spend our time, what we are interested in, how we live, how much money we spend, and what we say? Is it God the Lord?

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I am ashamed of how many false gods crowd into my life and try to get my attention. Please bless me and give me a heart that doesn't split. I don't want anything in my heart that isn't true and could change or lessen how much I love You. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
