Cling to Me

"For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man,

so I made the whole house of Israel

and the whole house of Judah

cling to me,

declares the Lord,

that they might be for me a people,

a name,

a praise,

and a glory,

but they would not listen."

Jeremiah 13:11

 

 

 

God would have us cling to Him, we would find our Home. We would find our praise, finally a true name, and in return share in His glory.

 

Israel and Judah didn't cling to God and therefore "refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, SHALL BE LIKE THIS LOINCLOTH, which is good for nothing."

 

 

When we are away from God, not clinging to Him out of proper relation, The Creator and the creature, we are ultimately "playing" god. We think we are God. Since it would require humility and "vertical awe" to have a relationship with God, the right and proper one.

 

 

Cling to Me. That is always God says here. That's His Heart and His purpose for our lives.

 

Brethen, Cling. Amen.
