JEREMIAH 17

THE HEARTS OF JUDAH ARE ENGRAVED WITH SIN 

Judah’s sin is so ingrained in their lives, that it becomes engraved in their hearts. Instead of turning their hearts towards God, their hearts have become filled with deceit and sinfulness. God will search their hearts and bless those who trust in God instead of man or false idols. God provides peace and abundance to those who put their faith in His provision.

Jeremiah, standing at the temple gates, calls for the people of Judah to honor the Sabbath day and remember God’s holiness. Even in their sinful state, God desires rest for His people.
