“For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.” - Jeremiah 13v11
God, as He always does, had great things that He desired to do for His people. In this case it was the nation Israel and He had renown, praise, and glory that He wanted to give them. There was a problem in receiving it however, they would not hear what God had to say and so missed His blessings.
Today all around us there is a generation of people whom God desires to bless. He has all the blessings of life with Him and eternal life awaiting them, but they will not attain them because they will not hear.
I wonder though how often we are in the same situation. How often does God have blessings laid up for us that we miss because we will not listen to Him?
