Pretenders

Then all the guerrilla leaders, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, approached Jeremiah the prophet.  They said, “Please pray to the Lord your God for us.  As you can see, we are only a tiny remnant compared to what we were before.  Pray that the Lord your God will show us what to do and where to go.” [Jeremiah 42.1-3]

These guys sounded really sincere.  But they weren't.

There are a lot of people today who say they will do what the LORD reveals, but when it comes down to it, they don't.

There are far too many pretenders.

Father, I don't want to be one of those who pretend to be obedient!
