Jeremiah 50: 5 "They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten."
The Babylonians are coming! And they are about to destroy and conquer God's people due to their rebellion against God. It is a depressing time, yet the Lord can see a future when his people will "bind" themselves to him and his covenant. And this covenant will never be forgotten!
Am I bound to Christ? Or is he just a casual thing? How do I bind myself to him? Can I even do that or does he do the binding alone? I think I have a say in this. I admit most days I am anything but bound to Jesus. How can my heart and my life become more and more bound to Christ and his covenant? How can I better "bind my wandering heart to thee?"
Dear Jesus, help me to bind myself to you today. Amen.
