It is the Day that the Lord has made, Let's Rejoice and Be Glad in it!!

Good evening, I did not get to post anything yesterday, but it was a great day none the less. I was able to speak God's Word at Peniel Baptist Church last night. I spoke on the life of Jeremiah and how that throughout his entire prophetic career of roughly 40 years, he declared God's judgements to the nations, and he never saw even one soul turn for their other gods or the works of their own hands. The faithfulness of such a man that stood for God even when the world was laughing at him and persecuting him for following and doing what God told him to do. Jeremiah 1:4-10,16-17 were the scripture references I used. God knew everything about Jeremiah even before he was born and God set his life apart for Christian service as a prophet. After God revealed this to Jeremiah, Jeremiah doubted like many of us when we are called to Christian service or another vocation. Jeremiah said that He was too young and did not know how to speak. God then went on to tell Him not to say that he was too young and that to all the people that He would send Jeremiah to, he was to go. God then told Jeremiah that He had set him over the nations and that His words would be in Jeremiah's mouth and basically pronounce His judgement that would come to the nations if they didn't turn from their gods and the works of their hands. In the end, no one turned back to God, Jeremiah faithfully spoke the word of God, time after time. Even though no one listened and the prophesies came true in the end, Jews were scattered and all that Jeremiah had told these people came true. Jeremiah even grieved for these people. Remember to be faithful through any situation that you are faced with. Follow what God tells you to do, even if it seems to produce no change! What a mighty God we serve! God Bless and Keep you!
