Jeremiah 14:20-22 (KJV)
We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
A Theme to Remember:
Certain sins, sadly, are found in one generation after another within a family. Sins like drunkenness, dishonesty, rebellion against God, adultery, and many others. If such a sin is evident, the only recourse – the only way to achieve true freedom from this cycle – is to turn to Christ and ask Him, by the indwelling power of His Holy Spirit, to break the chains of iniquity so that they will bind and enslave no more.
Words to Remember:
A broken and contrite heart is esteemed above all sacrifices.
–John Bunyan
