Jeremiah
"Whose heart departs from the LORD"
Text: Jeremiah 17:5
TRUST IN MAN
Jeremiah pleaded with the children of Judah to place their trust in the Lord. These pleas fell on deaf ears! The people chose to place their trust in man instead.
“Thus says the LORD:
‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the LORD.
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.'”
Jeremiah 17:5-6
