Are you called? Don't Baal out!

Good morning all.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
    Do you ever just stop and think about where you are?  What you are doing? How important what you are doing actually is?  Why you are doing what you are doing?  But, most of all, are all your efforts helping build the kingdom of God?  Hmmm!!
   Jeremiah was called at age 13 to be a prophet for God.  He argued at first saying he was too young.  God told him he would give him words, protect him and to go forth.  When God says he will protect us, that does not necessarily mean the sailing will be smooth.  There will be adversities to face, problems, sorrow, frustration, etc., but, God will not let anything happen to you personally as in death.
    When Jeremiah first speaks listen to the words and then relate this to our great country of America in Chapter 2.  
   Jeremiah 2 - Please read this in the KJV and I have below the NIV: (Jeremiah 2:2-3)
     

“This is what the Lord says:

“‘I remember the devotion of your youth,
    how as a bride you loved me
and followed me through the wilderness,
    through a land not sown.
³ Israel was holy to the Lord,
    the firstfruits of his harvest;
all who devoured her were held guilty,
    and disaster overtook them,’”
declares the Lord.

   Look closely at this; relate this to America and to yourself.  'devotion of your youth, as a bride you loved me, you followed me.  You were holy to the LORD, who saw favor on you and anyone who messed with you were held guilty, conquered and defeated.

  America was built on the faith and love of the LORD.  Your belief is built on the faith and love of the LORD.  Is all you had, all that God gave you - faith - belief in Jesus Christ - as it was in the beginning?  Stronger or weaker?  

    God loved Israel, still loves Israel!  God loved America, still loves America!  God loved you, still loves you!  The question then is: Are you following the footsteps of America, who followed the footsteps of Israel, and turned to evil, worshiping Baal, false gods, forsaking the one true LIVING GOD???

    Where are you in your relationship with God right now, this very moment today?  Would God say well done my good and faithful servant, or .......................?  The choice is yours, make the right choice.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
