Good Morning Friends,
Jeremiah receives a prophecy from the Lord condemning the people of Judah for their wicked conduct. It’s a long prophecy, consuming several chapters. The Lord was angry with His people. They were ignoring Him, turning to other gods, and disregarding His commands and directions for them. All the while they went about their business thinking nothing was wrong, content that they were “right” with God because they were of the right ancestry!
In the midst of the condemnation the Lord speaks through Jeremiah there is a verse that stands out to me as so applicable to our own culture.
God says, “Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush.” (Jeremiah 8:12)
They do not even know how to blush! How true that is of the majority in our world. People talk openly about things that past generations would not even have whispered about. We watch on TV and in the movies, things that would have embarrassed past generations and yet they are commonplace in our day.
Has sin become so commonplace and so accepted in your own life that you have forgotten how to blush?
His, by Grace,
Steve
