Jeremiah 50: 6. “My people have been lost sheep;
their shepherds have led them astray
and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill
and forgot their own resting place."
Jeremiah is proclaiming God's ultimate intent for Babylon. They have taken pleasure in the destruction of God's people, and they will be wiped from the Earth. God's people will be punished too, but there will be a time when they return to God.
I know so many who have forgotten their resting places. Sometimes I do that too. We get caught up in day to day life, and when we look up, we find we have gone astray. I need to be sure my eye is always on the one true God. When I do that, I find myself in harmony with Him.
Prayer: I will try to keep myself from going astray, Lord. I will will keep my eye on You, and You will show me the best path to follow. My safe resting place is always with You. Praise be to my glorious God!
Amen
