Jeremiah 35:16
The descendants of Jehonadab son of Rekab have carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.’

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, July 8, MAN (Jer. 35:16). Sometimes, man can be more important than God. Men may consider certain man more authoritative than God. His command and will are heard more than God. Notice the command of Jehonadab here is given once, they have no complain, no protest, no question. We can compare this to many examples today, modern people who live in the city or ancient people who live in secluded area. In certain tribe, for example, the command of the head of the tribe is so very powerful more than God. Once the head of the tribe believe in God, the whole of the tribe also believe in God. How can it happen? Because, they can see with their eyes. Hence, God is invisible. Christianity is not based on what we see. We based on what we hear. Therefore, Jesus said blessed those who believe not by sight, but by faith. Let’s believe invisible God more than we obey visible man
