Jeremiah 18:11 (ESV)

11 Now, therefore, say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: ‘Thus says the Lord, Behold, I am shaping disaster against you and devising a plan against you. Return, every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your deeds.’

This verse could be hard for many people to deal with.  Why would God shape a disaster towards his people?

The answer….because He loves His people.  Yes, I said it.  LOVE is the motivation.

This message was directed towards a rebellious people.  Decisions have consequences, and because of God’s love, He will allow us to experience the weight of the consequences of our sins.

We all deserve the storm because of our sins.  What we don’t is a Savior from our sins.  Yet that is exactly what Jesus offers us.  We can amend our ways when we accept that Jesus is the Way that leads to eternal life.
