God Does Not Forget

Jeremiah 9:4
4Beware of your friends;
do not trust your brothers.
For every brother is a deceiver,
and every friend a slanderer.

Jeremiah the prophet was distressed by the people. He was distressed because they lived in deceit. He echoed words that reflected Jacob's efforts to steal his brother Esau's birthright. Jacob deceived his father Issac because he desired to have the favor of Esau as first born. Brother deceived brother. Jacob did not get away with what he done. That was indeed Jeremiah's point. No one gets away with deception and slander. In the story of Jacob, Jacob is later deceived by one he bargained with. Jacob served for seven years to marry Rachel but their father deceived him while he was drunk and forced him to marry Leah. Jacob deceived his father against sibling and so in turn a father deceived Jacob with a sibling. My God, for his law of reaping and sowing is given. We must learn to treat each other well. We must learn that God does not delight in such acts. If one deceives or slanders, unless one is truly remorseful and seeks forgiveness, God does not forget. And God's punishment is just.
