Scripture Meditation No. 1680
AATHAVAN – 13.09.2025 – Saturday
“For they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.” (Jeremiah 2:27, KJV)
Today’s meditation verse reminds us that living a life that does not please God and failing to seek Him is like turning our back on Him. Imagine if we had the chance to meet a Prime Minister or Chief Minister, and instead of honouring them with our face, we deliberately turned our back to them—what great disrespect that would be!
In the same way, the King of kings patiently waits for us and seeks us, but most people ignore Him, being absorbed in worldly affairs, and turn their back on Him. This shows that they fail to give God the honour due unto Him.
Yet, as the Scripture says: “But in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.” People who never regard God, who live in ways displeasing to Him, suddenly cry out, “Lord, save us!” when they are in distress. They even bring offerings and sacrifices at such times. In this way, many treat God lightly, using Him only in times of need.
But the Lord warns: “Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.” (Jeremiah 2:19, KJV)
We may have seen people in our own lives who use us only when they need us. But we must never think we can treat the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth in such a way.
If a sinner turns to God in repentance, He will hear their prayer. But if someone only seeks Him for worldly needs, without any thought of repentance, God will not accept it.
Beloved, if we live with our back toward God, we will end up in a pitiful state. Instead, let us turn our face to Him, confess our sins, and seek His forgiveness. Then, when we call upon Him, He will hear us and not hide His face from us. As David testified: “They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.” (Psalm 34:5, KJV) So also, we shall never be ashamed, and our lives will shine with His glory.
