-41. This passage contains a word from the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the unfaithfulness of the people of Israel as a result of their misplaced desires. Out of this passage we address just how imperative it is that we have a properly placed desire for God. As our desire is refined for God, we find that obedience to God becomes simpler. Regardless of the reward, regardless of the difficulty, obedience becomes our default because our desire and focus is nothing else but God alone.
