In Jeremiah 13:11 it is said that the Lord caused the Israelites to cleave to him. Does He cause us to cleave to Him today? If so, in what ways does He cause us to cleave to Him? The second part of this topic relates to the "waistband" or "belt" described in Jeremiah 13. Do you think it has any application to our nation (USA) today or to us as individual believers today? My questions were prompted from my quiet time focused on quieting our hearts and listening to Him and the verse Deuteronomy 30:20.

The belt referred to in verses 1-11 can be applied to any nation, person, non-believer, believer, or entity. Unless we turn to God, repent and live lives that show the fruit of our love for Him we will suffer just as Judah and Israel suffer.
