Jeremiah 30:22 "So you will be my people, and I will be your God."
God is speaking in Jeremiah 30 about the restoration of his people Israel. He tells them that one day, they will finally and completely belong to him and be his people. One day, he will fully be their God.
I think this is the entire aim of God-that we will be his people and he will be our God. Strip all of the religious stuff away including the rules, the traditions, and our Sunday services and this is what God wants. He wants to dwell with us and be our God. I have the opportunity to do this each day. Am I willing to be his "people" and declare him my "God" each day?
Dear Jesus, please be my God and remind me to be yours. Amen.
