"Do give heed to me, O LORD, And listen to what my opponents are saying! Should good be repaid with evil? For they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You To speak good on their behalf, So as to turn away Your wrath from them." Jeremiah 18:19-20
Did not Jesus do the same thing and did he not get repaid with evil. Jeremiah was filled with the Spirit of God, trying to get others to turn from their wicked ways. He knew that God would not tolerate their disobedience. He spoke when it was unpopular, and he was persecuted for it but that didn't stop him. In our own world, we too have a message that others need to hear. Our choice is to speak truth or let our friends face the consequences of the evil they choose freely. Some can deny God but there is no mistaken that evil is all around, it is on the news each day. Do not be afraid to speak truth and help others find Christ, it is giving that we receive. Lent is a time to reflect, it is also a time to act. God is real and the gospel speaks truth, repent and believe, the kingdom of God is at hand.
Dear Father God, You never do anything without telling us first. There are many in this world who testify to Your truth, may we heed Your voice and believe. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to rescue us, may we imitate Him today and share the joy that You have placed within. May I not listen to the culture and continue to swim upstream. You are all I need and all I want. Bless a friend taking a test today and thank You for leading the lost home to You. To God be the glory, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Peace, pray for us.
