Scripture can make you blush.

Scripture Jeremiah 2:20:

For long ago I broke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, 'I will not serve.'
Yes, on every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down like a whore.

Observation:
Sin is profane to God. Jeremiah describes Israel as a wife who goes out and commits prostitution, in spite her husbands love and provision.

Application:
When the bible clearly teaches us to do something, or not to do something, and we choose to ignore that teaching and do what we want, it is betrayal of God in the worst way. Much like adultery within a marriage, it is grievous.

Because we all do it, it is easy to think it is no big deal. It is a big deal. In John 14:15 Jesus says "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

I don't want to be "bowed down like a whore" to the lies of the world. This rather profane verse makes it a little easier to understand how awful it is to ignore the love of God.

Prayer:
I pray that I fall more and more in Love with God every day. That I bask in the gifts that he is given me. That I trust him enough to obey his commandments. I know that I have failed in the past, and I thank him for cleansing me, redeeming me and taking me back in spite of how heinously I treated him in the past.
