Jeremiah 13:7 So I went to Euphrates and dug up the belt and took it from the place where I had hidden it, but now it was ruined and completely useless.<\/p>\n
After briefly using the belt around his waist,the lord ordered Jeremiah to go bury it in Euphrates. After many days ,upon retrieval of the belt , it was rotten.<\/p>\n
Belt is meant for girding the loins as a garment ,ornament or even adds glory to the wearer .But if rejected and disposed by the owner due to various reasons , it ends up decomposing relinquishing all its value and glory.<\/p>\n
Man is adorable to his maker. God watches over him as the pupil of His eyes. We are special to God as a belt is to it’s owner .But any detachment from him means all this value is relinquished and we are left as the empty shell ready to decompose and with no use .
\nOur talents ,skills and abilities become redundant if not put into proper use <\/p>\n
In order to remain valuable and relevant to ourselves and to God, we must remain attached to Him and to our areas of gifting.
