Jeremiah 24The people of Judah in Jeremiah’s time are symbols – not just of God’s people – but of all people. The ones who repent and turn back to God are the good figs, and will return to the God and he will bring them back to the promised land. The bad figs represent Zedekiah and those like him who seek refuge in Egypt. They do not choose to turn to God in difficult times. They will be utterly destroyed. What kind of fig are you?
LORD, forgive us for trusting in ourselves. Teach us to turn back to you.
