Bible Question: Who is a 'backslider'? Does this verse have anything at all to do with the "backsliding" daughter in Jeremiah 49:4? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Nolan! My study Bible has a cross reference to Jer 3:6 which indicates that this "daughter" refers to Israel. But according to the Amplified version, I suspect that God had many sons and daughters in mind! A backslider in heart - what a convicting description! Many times I find myself distracted and self centered. So often I find so much "fruit" of my own making that I am starving! It is a struggle to maintain my focus on God and His desires. Any suggestions? Blessings to you, Mommapbs |
