Boots on!

JEREMIAH 13

1. Buy a belt and put it round your waist.
2. Then go on a journey which will be approximately 400 miles and will take you 6 weeks to get there and hide the belt.
(Once he had done that he came back to resume his real work.)
3. Now repeat the whole process: walk back another 400 miles to rescue the belt and find it is useless.
Then come home.
A 1600 mile walk!
Have you ever found yourself doing something that you didn’t think you were called to do or didn’t make any sense?!
Well how about we word it in a different way?
1. The prophet’s belt would symbolise God’s authority on his message as with Elijah and John the Baptist.
2. Hiding the belt so far away will get Jeremiah away from the death plots.
3. The authority of Jeremiah’s message was rendered useless and so was the people rendered useless because they had not listened to him. This was God’s message after a 1600 mile walk!
Did it really need 1600 miles?
We are often in the place of not knowing what God is actually doing with our lives.
He is either protecting us or promoting His message through us or both!

Maybe it is time for those walking boots to be brought out!
Just do what He is asking even if you don’t have all the details.
