Jeremiah 11:10
Assamese - 2019 (ইণ্ডিয়ান ৰিভাইচ ভাৰচন (IRV) আচামিচ - 2019)
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Jeremiah says that the people of Israel and Judah have gone back to the wrong ways of their ancestors who ignored God's words. They have chosen to worship other gods instead of keeping their promise to God. God is speaking here and He is expressing His disappointment.
Explained for Children
Imagine you promised your best friend to always play with them, but then you went off and played with others instead. That's what the people in this story did with God. They broke a big promise by following other 'gods' instead of God, just like their grandparents did before them.
Historical Background
Jeremiah, a prophet, wrote this during a time when the Jewish people were turning away from God. He warned them of the consequences of their actions, which included going after false gods and ignoring God's teachings. This was written around 627-582 BCE.
Living It Out Today
In today's world, we might feel the pressure to follow what others are doing instead of staying true to our values. For instance, if all your friends are watching inappropriate videos, but you know it's not right, this verse reminds us to stay true to what we know is right, just like God's people should have stayed true to their covenant.
