Read: Jeremiah 10:1-11:23; Colossians 3:18-4:18; Psalm 78:56-72; Proverbs 24:28-29
Israel had followed the traditions of the nations around them and adopted their dead idols as their god. Because of this, God told them to leave their land before God hurled them out. Those that stayed would be captured. The ones living in Jerusalem who didn’t follow his commandments would be cursed. They had been warned over and over to turn back to the Lord and had refused to listen or turn so the time had come for God to act in judgement.
In the book of Colossians, God gives instructions of how to treat different people. Wives are to submit to their husbands, husbands are to love their wives, children are to obey their parents, father are to encourage their kids, slaves are to obey their masters out of a sincere heart and reverence to the Lord. In everything we do we are to do it as if we are doing it to and for the Lord. The way we work, relate to others, do our day to day is all a reflection of how we honor God. Our daily walk is worship to the Lord.
Lord, may our walk today be worship to you.
