Pastor Robert Nettles teaches on Jeremiah 17:1-10 "Do You Trust Me" on 9/8/2024 for our Sunday service.
Jeremiah 17
The Sin of Judah
1 "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron;
With the point of a diamond it is engraved
On the tablet of their heart,
And on the horns of your altars, 2 While their children remember
Their altars and their wooden images
By the green trees on the high hills. 3 O My mountain in the field,
I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
And your high places of sin within all your borders. 4 And you, even yourself,
Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you;
And I will cause you to serve your enemies
In the land which you do not know;
For you have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever."
5 Thus says the LORD:
"Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
9 "The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it? 10 I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
