On their lips, but far from the heart
-
May 11, 2017“You plant them, they take root, they flourish, yes, and bear fruit. You are on their lips, yet far from their heart.” Jeremiah 12:2
Even though God plants all the peoples and nations of this world and blesses them with growth, very few worship Him whole heartedly. Here is a great danger of hypocrisy! The Prophet says that while people do invoke the Name of the Lord, however it is not with sincerity. He completes his prophecy by saying that even though the Name of the Lord is on their lips, the same if far from the hearts of men.
