Trusting in the Wrong Thing

Jeremiah 7-11

The people of Jerusalem decided that they safe because they lived near the temple of the Lord. They put their trust in a building made of wood and stone, instead of putting their trust in the God of the Temple. Sounds strange until you realize that the people also put their trust in gods made of wood and stone instead of the living God. We no longer carve our Gods from wood and stone, but only because we lost the skills to do so. On this Good Friday evening, I place my trust... all my trust, in the savior on the cross,  who leads me to the promised land. May I never stray from him.
