Good day dear friends.
Here is our study guide for today:
Tuesday: Jeremiah 19, 20, 21Find individual words to describe Jeremiah’s series of emotions in Jeremiah 20.
A reality faced by those who serve the Lord is that of discouragement. To serve God is not the most popular decision one can make. Not everyone will rejoice and not everyone will agree or accept what one tries to do for God. To be called by God to be a prophet was a most difficult task for all the prophets who honestly served God, and Jeremiah was not exception. He faced ridicule and scorn and the threats of harm or death. Even the high priest in the Temple had Jeremiah whipped and arrested for preaching the truth.
How do you handle discouragement that comes from trying to do what God asks of you in your life? To try and be a Christian is not easy and not everyone will support you or agree with you. Some may even abandon you for making decisions that are not popular or well accepted. But God would say to you and me, never give up. I am with you!
PRAYER: Loving God help me with moments of discouragement. Grant me vision and hope for this and all days. I pray in Jesus' Name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
e.v.
PS Don't forget this coming Sunday we will be worshiping at Rio Vista Park at 10 a.m. This is followed by a delicious BBQ luncheon and then a time of recreation and fun! No BBQ will be served at the 8:30 service. See you all there!
