Jeremiah 2:35-37 KJV
Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
God cites three faults of the people in these verses
They did not acknowledge their sin
They were quick to change their ways and
They were confident in themselves
I am reminded once again of how foolish it is to have confidence in the flesh. God said He rejected their confidences. God was not impressed with their pride, their skills, their personal accomplishments.
God is looking for humble and contrite people. God is looking for those who realize they are sinners and bow before God seeking His mercy and grace. Let me be one like that!
