What have we placed our confidence in?
For Jeremiah’s audience, it was the Baals and other false Gods. For us, it can be appearance, pleasure, leisure, lust, money, things, sports, cars, jewelry, education, power etc.
The prophet’s warning was this;
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,
24 but let the one who boasts boast about this:
that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,” [Jer. 9:23,24]
DAILY PRAYER: Father, by Your Spirit and Your grace, give us the strength to readjust our focus from all else to You. Forgive us for following after idols.
