We Get What Our Behavior Asks For….

When you treat God like a stranger, He eventually becomes one. You can’t abuse God, abandoning Him, then when tough times come, expect Him to be there to rescue you. That’s bad theology. God is far beyond our understanding, but He does have traits like human beings. Yes, His patience and tolerance are much deeper than ours, but abuse Him long enough, and He will leave you high and dry, to fend for yourself. We get what our behavior asks for.

7 The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,but help us for the sake of Your own reputation.We have turned away from Youand sinned against You again and again.8 O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,why are You like a stranger to us?Why are You like a traveler passing through the land,stopping only for the night? Jeremiah 14:7-8

10 So this is what the Lord says to His people: “You love to wander far from Me and do not restrain yourselves. Therefore, I will no longer accept you as My people. Now I will remember all your wickedness and will punish you for your sins.” Jeremiah 14:10
