There was one verse that resounded in my spirit this morning as I was reading about the nations exile.
It is a part of verse 15....
"They followed worthless idols and
themselves became worthless."
What an intersting description of who these people became because of what they were pursuing. As they pursued worthless idols they inherited the traits of worthless idols.
I believe this principle rings true still in our lives.
If we pursue hate we become people of hate.
If we pursue apathy, we become people of apathy. If we puruse hope, we become people of hope.
If we pursue love, we become people of love.
Pick a single quality this week of something you wish to pursue and put this theory to the test. Though a week isn't necessarily a long amount of time, I believe you will start seeing some effects of it.
Heart and Soul,
BAG
