Forsaking the Lord

Forsake God then suffer the consequences of forsaking Him, but if you have faith in Him that is developing and growing, you will rejoice in His love and grace.

There are many ways of forsaking God and it was done before and is still being done by the people of this world up until today.

TO FORSAKE GOD:

• Committing sin  (Jeremiah 2:13)

"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

You forsake God by trusting on your own and building your own foundation of faith that are not strong enough to sustain the state of being strong spiritually, physically and mentally.

• Worshiping other gods/Worshiping idols  (Jeremiah 2:28)

"Where then are the gods that you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in  trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah."

Worshiping idols will lead to nothing! Only the Almighty God can save you in times of trouble and help you when you are in need. Can a god that is not even real, save you from danger, trouble or a sudden attack? NO. Only the true and Living God can save you from the depths of hell and still make you His son/daughter and write your name in "The Book of Life."

REBUKING (Jeremiah 2:17)
"Have you not brought this on yourselves by forsaking the Lord your God when He led you in the way?"

MERCY AND CORRECTION (Jeremiah 2:19)
"Your wickedness will punish you; Your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how bitter it is and evil for  you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe of me," = LOVE
                                             declares the Lord
                                            the Lord Almighty.

Don't ever try to forsake the Lord for He is the Almighty God who is angry yet merciful and abounding in love. In every sin and mistake that you do, there is rebuking and correction. All of this is because of LOVE, love that has no condition and love that is undeserved, undefined and mostly the perfect love that nobody else can give.
