Tired of Jeremiah already?!
11 chapters in and maybe all his heavy prophesying is getting way too much. No one likes a hell, fire and brimstone man, not for a morning devotion anyway. So what can we do? We can shut the Bible or read from a different section, something lighter and more positive. Jeremiah’s generation tried to shut him up just like perhaps we are tempted to do. However, they plotted to kill him to permanently remove him, akin to us ripping out the book of Jeremiah from the Bible altogether!
But they did not count on the watchful gaze of God. He showed Jeremiah what he could not see, the plot to kill him and that it came from members of his own home town.
5 small questions to answer today:
Do you only want ‘nice’ words from the Lord?
Are you offended easily?
When opposition comes from your own peers, friends and family will you hold on the Lord?
How do you dignify an attack on yourself?
How does the Lord reveal things to you?
Keep Jeremiah open, let God continue to speak through Him to you, only 40 chapters to go!
