Jer 4:12
Even a
full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence
against them.
The Lord Gives Sentences
Jeremiah was
going to give a sentence or judgment from God to His people regarding their
actions. Our God is the One who has
every right to pronounce judgment on us.
He will tell us what is right and He will tell us what is wrong. It is not up to our own standards or the
society in which we live. God is the
Judge and it is He that determines whether things are sin, compromise or
idolatry. I fear our culture encourages
believers to inwardly determine their own standards. It is God, who reigns on high that determines
what grieves His heart and creates winds that parch and trouble our lives. We are the created ones. He is the Creator. It is the Lord who says what sexual sin is,
what gossip is and every other form of sin that Christ died for. Have we become so arrogant that we think our
own understanding is to be that which determines righteousness? Be open to the Lord’s sentencing. Listen to the Jeremiahs in your life. Our God is worthy and alone judges
righteously.
