In It for the Long Haul (Jeremiah 16-17)
God does what’s best for us forever, even when prioritize what we want right now.
1. Rely on the Lord for correction (Jer. 16)
– We submit to the Lord over all else, even our families can be blessings or idols (1-4)
– Serving the Lord is self-sacrificial, we’ll often miss out on what others get to do (5-9)
– It’s easy to lose perspective on how serious obeying God’s word is to our lives (10-15)
– God’s work of correction is thorough because His plan for our restoration is great (16-21)
2. Abide in the Lord for stability (Jer. 17)
– Our disobedience to God’s word has lasting consequences on our lives and others (1-4)
– Our way may work for a time, but only the Lord can navigate life’s ups and downs (5-13)
– Living faithful to the Lord may mean living different than everyone around us (14-18)
– We take time to rest in the Lord out of obedience, trust, and worship (19-27)
