“When I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.” Jeremiah 5:7

In this verse, through the prophet Jeremiah, God expresses His disappointment with the people who abandoned Him even after receiving His victories.

In other words: “When I had fed them with abundance, when I gave them riches, prosperity, houses, fields, crops, gold of nations, and trade growth, when I blessed them and made them prosper, then they betrayed me; they turned to other gods.”

To understand God’s pain, imagine a young woman who dedicated her life to her first love. She and her husband fell in love, got engaged, promised eternal fidelity, married, and built a life together. He worked hard for the family; she was by his side in every achievement. Over time, they prospered and achieved stability. However, when they were rich and fulfilled, the husband got tired of her because youth had passed. After everything she did for him, he left her for a younger woman and committed adultery.

This, unfortunately, happens to many women and also to many men. Many faithful men who dedicated their lives to a woman were betrayed and exchanged. God compares Himself to this betrayed man, who, after giving everything to his wife, finds himself rejected and deceived.

Betrayal is something diabolical and demonic because it is such a hard blow that it was the only reason why God allowed the separation, despite hating divorce.

What does that mean? Here we have two meanings.

First, He teaches about the importance of marital fidelity, something the world needs to learn—both men and women. To be happy in marriage, you must learn loyalty, one of the pillars of intelligent love.

The second teaching, the greatest of all, is faithfulness and loyalty to God. Well, how many did the same thing that Israel did? After being full and blessed, they moved away.

God took you out of the mud, gave you a worthy life, a name, and peace, and blessed you. But when you were fed up with victories, you no longer had time to pray, read the Bible, or talk to God. But you had time to talk on the phone for hours with a client, and time and willingness to take the car or a plane and travel on business. However, you can no longer take ten minutes to go to church, even though you live only ten minutes away.

At first, you said to yourself: “I pray at home; I seek God at home. God understands; I’m being blessed. I won’t stop tithing and offering. God knows I need to grow, and I will bless His work with wealth.”

But, little by little, you left Him, and today you have fallen; you threw away your principles and faith in exchange for the pleasures of this world. And the result is a vast emptiness, a feeling of guilt for being unfaithful.

But there’s still time for you. As a God so loving, so patient, and merciful, He says in His Word that despite your infidelity, He awaits you and, when you return, will heal your backsliding.

What are you going to do?
