Awesome - Jeremiah 2:18-19

Jeremiah 2:18-19 NIV 

Now why go to Egypt

to drink water from the Nile?

And why go to Assyria

to drink water from the Euphrates?

 Your wickedness will punish you;

your backsliding will rebuke you.

Consider then and realize

how evil and bitter it is for you

when you forsake the Lord your God

and have no awe of me,”

declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

Why drink anything other than the living water of God?  Does it taste that good or is it an acquired taste?  We acclimate to our surroundings much too easily. We can take the familiar for granted, even if it is the Creator.

Without awe there is no wisdom. 

To revere The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. 

We have an awesome God.
