Today’s Thought “Access Denied” G. Ward

Jeremiah 31

³³ “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Witnessing Holy God’s Truth is the purpose of every believer (Matt.28:19) and whereas many run on tangents of great religiosity (e.g., known for singing about HIM and benevolent acts), our Lord’s demand was insistent on a patient instruction of HIS commands that makes a disciple (i.e., followers of Jesus and not man). What’s astounding is a common evasiveness to this commission by many who propose to believe (i.e., to place one’s trust in the Savior) – without activity of HIS precedent, while loving to praise HIM (*Amos 5:18-23). Truly, and as Jeremiah proposed, our Lord has written HIS code on the hearts of every man (*Ro.10:8), to enable our journey with fortitude to prevail and whereas some cynical will still insist, they won’t listen – neither would I, because the responses from many believers are more replete with foolish rhetoric (i.e., social and political jargon) than Truth.
