I love the quote that says, “Sometimes just spending quality time with good friends is the only therapy you need.” From the beginning God created us for fellowship. Fellowship with Him, and with others. And so He gifted us the blessing of friendship. …
Jeremiah 5:24
Jeremiah was called the “weeping prophet” because of the tears he cried over the rebellious Israel. The wickedness of its people and the judgement their sins provoked, grieved Jeremiah greatly. And if he could see the condition of the world today, he would describe it as he did ancient Israel. “This people has a stubborn and rebellious heart.” (Jer. 5:23) Just like the Israelites, our society celebrates moral rottenness. The gospel and its message are being corrupted and perverted by false teachers and prophets. And like the days of Noah, we call good wicked and wicked good. The people of Israel were punished for their sins, and we will be too. For we have failed to learn from the example of God’s people, that fighting against God always leads to despair and destruction. For just as He withheld the blessings of rain and harvest of Judah, unless we repent, God will do the same to us.
