Find rest for your souls

Jeremiah 6:16-30
Find rest for your souls- ask where the good way is and walk in it.
The Lord has brought disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to his words and have rejected his law.
The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out.
They are called rejected silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
Why?
His call to walk 'the good way' has met with flat refusal. So God has rejected his people and turned them over to the invading armies. Even Jerusalem will be besieged.
Incense and sacrifice that the Lord doesn't care it when people is walking in wicked way.
The good way is walk on the way of God's words, obey His commands. Live with righteousness and love, caring the poor and fatherless children and women.
No only the Israelite suffer this disaster, but also evil doer will perish for his own sins and schemes.
The Lord discipline us like refine the silver, it is burn through fierce fire, if the wicked are not purged out will be rejected by the Lord.
How?
Let my soul be rest, walk on the good way. God is full of love and mercy, waiting  for our repent. Don't let Him disappointed and don't let us be rejected.
