During my quiet time today, I read Jeremiah 3:8-12
8 I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. 9 Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood. 10 In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,” declares the Lord.
Judah had the advantage of seeing the consequences and ramifications that Israel had to face because of them turning away from the Lord- in 627 BC, Israel was taken captive by Assyria. However, despite having this information, Judah still decided to commit idolatry themselves and not follow the Lord whole-heartedly.
Satan is the best "worst eye doctor" in all of history!
He loves for us to have blurry vision so that we:
1. Can't see the mistakes of the past and learn from them
2. Can't see the possible consequences we might face because of our sinful choices
Satan doesn't like us to have 20/20 vision. He likes to keep us from seeing the God's truth.
Please Lord, help me to see you and your wisdom and guidance clearly so that I will follow you with all my heart, mind, and soul.
