God will punish those who are "uncircumcised in heart." He will destroy Judah and Jersualem in order to SHOW HIMSELF to them- "the Lord who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth." this seems ironic that he would use such a gruesome suffering in order to show his good character to them. but really, as sinful ppl, we cannot understand God's holiness and majesty if we don't understand the weight of our own sin and how we cannot compare to Him.. that He is perfect and deserves all the glory. that we are a people who need Him to save us and transform us.
ah! today's sermon was really good... need to discipline my MIND not to worry but to trust fully in God. and not only that, but i felt really convictd that GOd wants me to be more focused at work and while im in Detroit.. to spend more time thinking about GOd's heart for the city and my students and intercede for what's broken and in need of Christ's power. i dont pray and intercede enough bc im too caught up thinking about my own life and my own junk and my own needs and wants etc etc. need more brain space to let God show me whats important to Him and the KINDGOM "work" that needs to be done around me. we are on a MISSION and there's no time to dilly-daddle and no time to be selfishly in our own little world when there are people facing death every day without Jesus Christ.
