Pastor's Article 02-01-26

Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken? 15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; Jer 18:14–15.
God presented a straightforward question to the people, reminding them of His kindness. When we imagine snow-covered mountains, their impressive beauty is striking—but it’s easy to forget that these peaks rise from dry desert landscapes in the Middle East. More important than their majestic appearance is the clean, cold water that flows from melting snow, which reliably refreshes the people each day. God asked whether anyone would willingly give up such a vital blessing, emphasizing this because the people were turning away from Him—the true source of daily nourishment—to follow false gods. Have you ever turned away from the Lord, who generously provides good and perfect gifts, only to pursue distractions that don’t last? Only God, our creator, can satisfy our deepest needs. Place your trust in Him and allow Him to care for you.
Pastor,
