Old Testament – Today in Jeremiah 26 we are reminded again how tough it is to be a prophet – the people of Judah want to kill him!  It is an interesting series of events with the courts and priests. It reminds me of some ways of Jesus and his last hours. Except that Jeremiah of course gets reprieved. However, at the end of the chapter we hear about the prophet Uriah and he was not so fortunate. He was chased into Egypt (interesting escape into Egypt parallel w/ Christ’s early life), captured and killed. The lesson for us in this chapter 26 may be this – when we are confronted with a call to repent from sins, do we?  Or do we rage back and accuse the accuser of sins?  Do we repent or do we deny?  Do we return to the Lord?


Worship God: Today’s readings in Psalm 27 reminds me of the Newsboy’s song “God’s Not Dead:”

    All through generations, upon generations, even today God calls His people to repent from their (our) wicked ways. He sent prophets to warn His people to mend their ways before He discipline them (us) like a loving Father. In the end He had to send His only begotten son Jesus to be a ransom for our sins. Thank you God our Father for Jesus. Though we are not worthy, You love us dearly.
