Jeremiah’s message to God’s people was not popular. “They did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts.”  [Jer.7:24]

God had said, “Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people.Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.”  [v. 23]

When our road gets ultra bumpy, or circumstances seem to be crying out, “This is not working.”  It may be time to return to the Lord.

Just the other day, I was suffering in my body.  I returned to the Lord by asking Him to give me relief.  It worked.  I sensed a warmth in my painful area and soon noticed the objectionable pain was gone.

DAILY PRAYER;  Lord, forgive us for forgetting Your power and desire that things go well for us.

DAILY READING:  Jer. 5-8
