The Yoke's on you - Jeremiah 26: 1-3

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

I do hope this day greets and treats you well. A thought for the day:
"The man who lives by himself and for himself is likely to be corrupted by the company he keeps."

Hang in here today. Stop and think about the following information.

Is your yoke on straight? Jeremiah doned a yoke to represent the harsh domination of Babylon. Our yoke from Jesus symbolizes our relationship with Him, a fellowship of joy and rest. Yokes stand for submission: Jeremiah's was of a rebellious nation and ours is one of a friend who provides all that is necessary for life and godliness.

Look at Jeremiah 26:1-3 "This message came to Jeremiah from the LORD early in the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah. This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard in front of the Temple of the LORD and make an announcement to the people who have come there to worship from all over Judah. Give them my entire message; include every word. Perhaps they will listen and turn from their evil ways. Then I will change my mind about the disaster I am ready to pour out on them because of their sins."

God reminded Jeremiah that he wanted his entire message given - "include every word." Jeremiah may have been tempted to leave out the parts that would turn his audience against him, sound too harsh, or make him sound like a traitor. But by God's comand, he was not to delete parts of God's message to suit himself, his audience, or the circumstances in which he found himself.

Look around your community, your church, your state and nation; we must never ignore or exclude important parts of God's Word to please someone. We have teachers in seminaries, pastors in the pulpit, Sunday school teachers who don't believe in the virgin birth, resurrection of Christ, forgiveness of sins, and on and on. Can you stand proud and present JESUS CHRIST as He really is? Can you stand up for Jesus or cower down before someone who speaks against?

America and the world is toying with God's word and what are you doing about it? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
