“Has a nation changed gods, when they were not gods? But My people have exchanged their glory for that which is of no benefit. Be appalled at this, you heavens, and shudder, be very desolate,” declares the Lord. “For My people have committed two evils: They have abandoned Me, the fountain of living waters, to carve out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that do not hold water. … Your own wickedness will correct you, and your apostasies will punish you; know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter for you to abandon the Lord your God, and the fear of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord God of armies. (Jeremiah 2:11-13, 19)
This was true of Judah, and it’s just as true today in nations that used to regard the Word of God as their righteous standard. We have abandoned God and we have attempted to satisfy ourselves with things that are transient at best.
God goes on to outline the results that we are already seeing in our homes, government, and cultures: “‘Your own wickedness will correct you, and your apostasies will punish you; know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter for you to abandon the Lord your God, and the fear of Me is not in you,’ declares the Lord God of armies” (Jeremiah 2:19).

And I love this observation from Leonard Ravenhill’s exceptional book Why Revival Tarries.
