The backsliding youth...!

Jeremiah 3:22-25 NKJV

“Return, you backsliding children, And I will heal your backslidings.” “Indeed we do come to You, For You are the Lord our God. Truly, in vain is  salvation  hoped  for from the hills, And  from the multitude of mountains; Truly, in the Lord our God Is the salvation of Israel. For shame has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth— Their flocks and their herds, Their sons and their daughters. We lie down in our shame, And our reproach covers us. For we have sinned against the Lord our God, We and our fathers, From our youth even to this day, And have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”

† Shalom †......! Day #325. Do you know that we must honor our God from our youth and live as an example to others? Let's pray. Father, here we are rededicating our lives wholly to You. Let our lives be an aroma that's pleasing unto You. Forgive us for we have believed in a lie and turn away from You. Lord, we repent and return to You today. Cleanse us thoroughly, refine us with the refiners fire. In Jesus name we ask an pray, amen!

Friends, do not neglect the teachings of God. Do not be disobedient. Youths are easily be given into the desires of flesh that leads to destruction.  We back slide from the truth of God and we entertain the world's offer. We walk the path of the world and finally come to the crossroads of our life where we find ourselves empty and left nothing for us anymore. Let not the former generation look down to us but be a good example in faith, speech and the way we live in Christ, to them.

Honor your God with your youthful energy. Today I would like to focus on the last verse which says, "For we have sinned against the Lord our God, We and our fathers, From our youth even to this day, And have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.” I'm not surprised to see the generation before us drinking, partying, consuming drugs, adultery,  gambling and so on because they did not honor God when they were young, same goes to our current generation. If we neglect the Lord's rebuke and forsake all His teachings and statutes, then let me tell you one - you will never ever have a victorious life, you will be living a lie till you die, you will be indulging in everything the world has to offer. Let us therefore repent and return to God that He may receive us and that we may be reconciled to God. I beseech you brothers and sisters in Christ, let us come back to God and live in His plans and purposes for us. Let us not backslide from the truth of God's word concerning our lives. God bless you...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
