As a nation, we must turn back to God

In Jeremiah there is a story of a group of people who were just to stiff necked to turn to the Lord.   No matter  how many died, no matter how many wars they fought, they just would not turn to God.  And then, finally one day, they did.  They asked Jeremiah to pray for them to our Lord.  They asked Jeremiah to pray to God that “the Lord you God may show us the way wherein we may walk and the things we may do”

And God, despite the many times the people had ignored Him, was merciful because He loved them!  And God told them if they would “abide in this land than I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up….”

Our nation has ignored the Will of God many times over the past few decades.  But we don’t have to continue on that path.  We can turn to our Lord and pray just as the people in Jeremiah’s time did.  We can turn to God and He will be merciful because He loves us!

Praying for our nation,  In God We Trust, Theresa
