O LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.
Jeremiah 5:3 (NIV)
What does the LORD look for?
Truth.
Where does He search for this truth?
In us.
They swore, “As surely as the LORD lives!” They said one thing, but they did another. Their lips gave a testimony to God, but their lives were not a testimony for God. So God searched for truth—for someone whose life matched their lips.
When our lives do not gee haw with our lips God calls us to repentance. If we do not repent there will be consequences.
This is not a scare tactic, but a warning given in love. God is not issuing a false threat. This is what He will do—and, historically speaking, what He actually did.
Do our lives match our lips? For instance, we call ourselves “Christians;” but do our lives match our profession?
God is still searching for honesty today.
Will He find it in us?
I love you.
Bro. George
