Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD. Jeremiah 6:15

I recently saw a man and a woman walking hand in hand in a public park. They both wore
t-shirts with writing emblazed on their chests. The messages of both were provocatively embarrassing. The poor souls were not only bold enough to own and wear those shirts—in public, no less—neither of them had sense enough to blush.

In case you haven’t noticed, we live in a crude, lewd, and rude society. We are a society that celebrates perversion and vilifies those who refuse to join the parade.

Jeremiah wrote about the sinfulness of Judah, pointing out that their sin was so commonplace that the people had forgotten how to blush.

God promised such people that they would fall, experience God’s punishment, and be cast down.

Judah fell, and fell hard under the Lord’s displeasure. If God does not deal with us, He may need to apologize to Judah.

Let us worship God in the beauty of His holiness, praying for a spiritual and moral revival in our land. And let us thank the Lord that there are still people who, by God’s grace, know how to blush.
