But my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit

Jer 2:11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. Jer 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Oh America, land of the free and home of the brave! Dear friends I was reading in Jeremiah this morning when I came across these verses. In these Jehovah God is dealing with the nation of
Judah; which was the Southern Kingdom of the time of the divided kingdom stage. God in His ever long suffering and mercy was still pleading with them to repent and turn to the only true God. In Gods pleadings He doesn't just say repent, no friends God shows us exactly what they needed to repent of. In the above verses it shows how they sold out when it came to worshipping the true God. God shows them that even the nations that were surrounding them even though they were serving false gods, and gods created out of vain imaginations were not even willing to depart from their ways to get a little gain. God reminds them that even though the nations around them were prospering, they were doing it in the wrong manner, and doing it while serving and offering worship to false gods. In their zeal to be like the other nations Israel had given up the glory of God, and now had traded it for that which did not profit them. Dear friends if we in America don't repent and turn from our wrongdoings, then the Lord is going to deal with us. Let's think about this for a moment and look at where our once great nation is headed? There are all manner of false religion, there is all manner of deceitful gain, friend we are spiraling downward while looking at the way other nations are set up and we are trying to base our laws and judgements off of them. Friend this is wrong, we are America, we were a sovereign nation founded upon the Word of God, I know this really scares the liberals and those that would sell out our nation to foreign rule, but friend dig a little deeper into the Word of God and see what is going on! Just as the nation of Israel had sold out for no profit, we too are slowly being sold out into bondage. Now God also in His space of time gave Israel time to repent as He does us also in this day and age. God has sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Friend I encourage you today to put away your evil doings and repent while there is yet time. Put your faith in the One and Only Jesus that could take away your sins and give you reconciliation with God the Father. Friends be warned, because we have an example from the nation of Israel, God told them that their own wickedness shall correct them, their own backsliding shall reprove them. Now, dear friend if at one time you have tasted of the grace of God in your life then I encourage you to turn from your backsliding and return unto the fellowship that you had with God that He may forgive you and use you for His glory. Reader if you have never repented and trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior then I encourage you to do so today! God said to Israel that there was no fear of Him in them, and with that they continued in their folly and evil doings, which ultimately led to their captivity. Dear reader, because their is Jesus who died for your sins, then there must be reason for Him to have died for them, and that reason is Hell, a place of fire and torment, a place where the worm dieth not forever and forever. Dear reader know this, that today could be your day of salvation if you so choose, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and repent of them while there is still time. Friend don't be like the children of Israel and be taken into bondage, free yourself from that burden and allow Jesus to be your Savior! America, repent and stand firm on the Word of God, not letting ourselves be sold out from underneath us, don't let a mistake in leadership change our glory for that which doth not profit!
