“Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of the Lord our God.” Jeremiah 42:6
WOW! What a confession! This is what the Jews that escaped Nebuchadnezzar’s Wrath declared. They had asked Jeremiah to pray, “that the Lord your God may tell us the way in which we should walk and the thing that we should do”. But this is not what they wanted. When Jeremiah told them what God’s Will was for them, they rejected it. They SAID one thing, and DID another. Lesson? Be careful to DO as you SAY!!! God holds us accountable for our Words, but He will Judge us Eternally for how we LIVE!!!
Lord, I confess that I Love You, but Please…Help me to Live like I Love You!
