Broken Yoke And Loosed Bonds

Jeremiah 30:11  

"For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full 

end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make 

a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will 

not leave thee altogether unpunished" 

    God was prepared to spare Jerusalem on lower terms than even Sodom, and yet He was driven to destroy her. Both poor and rich alike had broken the yoke and loosed the bonds. They settle down upon the land as a flock of locusts, but still the Chosen People refuse to connect their punishment with their sin. It never occurred to them that the failure of the rain, the withering of their crops, and the assault of their foes, were all connected with their sin. There is nothing unusual here, for as we read the history of our own times, we are equally inapt or just plain refuse to connect national disaster with national sin. 

    How good it would be if the national cry of today were that of  Jer. 5:24 "Let us now fear before the Lord our God." My Friends, we as believers must stand firm with our Lord! So many of us has broken our bonds with God and tried to bear our own burdens; and what happened? Our lives became wide open for corruption, and where there is corruption also comes disaster! My Friends, Let us rest in Jesus, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light," (Matt. 11:29-30).

Amen!
