What people don't understand about knowing, pursuing, and serving God; it's not an obligation, or a drudgery. It's the way we are supposed to live. It brings us joy knowing we are fulfilling our purpose. It gives us hope in dark times. It gives us a reason to live. Yet those that oppose God, only do harm to themselves by living in rebellion. They destroy themselves by the choices they make. Yet they blame others for their demise, deep down inside they really know who's to blame. There's God's way, and then there's every other way. We miss out when we choose any other way.
8 Why provoke My anger by burning incense to the idols you have made here in Egypt? You will only destroy yourselves and make yourselves an object of cursing and mockery for all the nations of the earth. 9 Have you forgotten the sins of your ancestors, the sins of the kings and queens of Judah, and the sins you and your wives committed in Judah and Jerusalem? 10 To this very hour you have shown no remorse or reverence. No one has chosen to follow My word and the decrees I gave to you and your ancestors before you.
Jeremiah 44:8-10
