Fantastic Friday #242-Conspiracy

Conspiracy

9 Then the LORD said to me, “There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem. 10 They have returned to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant I made with their ancestors. 11 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them. Jeremiah 11:9-11

Looking around this week made me realize that there is a conspiracy out there, both one that my Pastor is speaking of and one that is among the people that are "of this world." During a season when we should be pursuing Him and all that He has done for us, people tend to pursue that brand new thing that is shiny and pretty and is supposedly making their life easier. Maybe that shiny thing is not something "of this world" but something that is bigger than this world that we should be pursuing. Let us cry out to the Lord with a heart that is clean and pursue what He has for us. Let us pursue what God has laid out in His conspiracy, which is to give us a gift that we cannot return. The gift of eternal life is what we should focus our mind on during this time of year. Thank you God for who you are and what you have done.
