However when our faith is unhealthy, we become spiritually insensitive, meaning we live without understanding and following God’s Word. Each time this happens, hardships are given to us, turning us back to God.
However when the state of our faith is unhealthy but nothing happens around us, we need to feel the sense of crisis of faith. Like today’s passage from Jeremiah, the people

When our faith is not healthy but there are no problems in our lives, we need to ask for God’s intention as soon as we can. It may look like there are no problems in our lives, but our faith may be in crisis.
