Are you drinking of the cup with God's fury? Turn now! Jeremiah 24 - 25

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Thought for today: It costs us to follow Jesus Christ, but it costs us more not to.

Jeremiah 25 Jeremiah talks of the cup of God's fury. Jeremiah gave his message in 605 B.C., and he predicted the 70 years of captivity 20 years before it began.

Jeremiah is preaching the same message for 23 years and is continually rejected. Jeremiah had committed his life to God, he continued to proclaim the message and was rejected.

Jeremiah did not give up! God never stops loving us, even when we reject him. We can thank God that he won't give up on us, and like Jeremiah, we can commit ourselves to never forsaking him.

When you share God's word, no matter how people respond, remain faithful to God's high call and continue to witness for HIM, GOD!

During this time, Judah was not the only nation to drink the cup of God's anger. He tells which nations, and tells them they will become a waste land. Does this change their ways? NO! They continue to laugh, enjoy, and worship idols they made with their own hands. When God comes, in His anger, there is no place to hide.

In Chapter 24 Jeremiah speaks of the good fig and the bad or rotten figs. The good figs are the Jews who left Judah and went to Babylon and will survive. The rotten figs are the ones who remained and continued their ungodly ways. The good figs God will watch over, bring them back and lift them up. May you, in your walk with God, be a good fig; be lifted up and follow God's word and do His work. Let us not be the figs that will be destroyed. Are you right with God? If not, no better time than right now. Take time and spend time with God. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
