Jer
2:5
Thus saith
the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far
from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
The Lord is
challenging His people and asking them what sort of iniquity He has done that
they would go far from Him and walk after empty things rather than Him. The Lord challenges us when we walk away from
Him or pursue things less noble than those He would have us pursue. This question is a statement. The Lord is telling us that He has NOT done
anything wrong to have us ever go far from Him or exchange a first love
relationship with Him for lovers that leave us used and empty. The Lord is faithful and He does ALL things
well. He deserves our complete devotion
because He is holy and right in all He does.
His perfection demands our complete loyalty and our lives are designed
to cling to Him and walk after those things He deems worthy of our lives and
efforts. The Lord has done no iniquity
and He does not deserve to be treated with such casual straying or downright
rejection. Our God is good and He
deserves our upmost obedience and surrender.
