The Weeping Prophet, Day 24

Do we have a heart to know God? Read Jeremiah chapter 24.

God gives Jeremiah an example to share with the people showing two baskets of figs. One of these baskets are very good and the other basket is very bad. God explains that the very good figs are like the people who will be sent into exile. God will teach them how to love him. God will give them a heart for him. The other basket will be the leaders of the current country that have led the people astray. They will be destroyed.

As we look to God and desire to be the basket of fruit that is good, have we allowed God to give us a heart to seek him? Do we desire him above all things? If we are going to truly seek after God, God must give us his heart to know and to understand him. Are we seeking after him today?
