But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. Jeremiah 17:7
Judah’s sin inevitably led to their downfall. Verse one of chapter 17 says “Judah’s sin is engraved on their hearts with an iron tool and flint point.” This sin goes back several generations. The cost was the loss of the geographical nation of Israel and enslavement by their enemies. BUT!!
God continued to inform, remind, perpetuate and display His faithfulness. If the people of Judah would turn to Him, He would bless them. God’s authority means He is Judge and He alone can condemn. But His purpose is to save us from that peril. He is so very, very, kind and good. Trust Him, and you will find blessed peace and rest.
