False lovers

Jeremiah warned Judah, “All your lovers have left you and they don’t care about you anymore.” (Jer 30:14) He is referring to fickle allies, false gods, and flagrant sin. Judah had abandoned her God and prostituted herself to lesser lovers. They all proved unreliable. She went to them for help, strength, comfort and satisfaction. At first, the relationships seemed promising; providing what she wanted, but in the end her lovers abandoned her. We often turn to worldly lovers, sex, alcohol, food, stuff, status to provide what only our heavenly lover can provide. There comfort is temporary, while the Lord’s is lasting. Our Celestial Husband will not disappoint us (Rom 10:11).
