Good morning all,
The word of the day is “tough.” How would you like to have
been one of God’s prophets in the OT whose main objective was to tell the
Israelites that they were a bunch of bustas… yeah, not a fun job. Jeremiah was
a real leader. He pretty much knew that he had to punk the Israelites for
disobedience – but he faced the situation like a real leader should.
“Jeremiah the prophet said, "I hear your request. And I
will pray to your God as you have asked. Whatever God says, I'll pass on to
you. I'll tell you everything, holding nothing back."
~Jer. 42:4
Whoa! Now that is what I call a fearless leader. Jeremiah
was willing to do a couple things. He would first pray to God on behalf of the
peeps, and then he would pass on whatever message the Lord gave. Unfortunately
it was going to be a message that the Israelite would not like to hear. My
question is: are you ready for tough decisions… in family, relationships,
school, your direction in life? My prayer is that you take Jeremiah’s path and
learn how to tackle tough circumstances. That way, when God calls you to make
those decisions… you will be ready.
Praying for you,
mo
