Fight To Stay In Their Sinful, Immoral Beliefs….

In an election year we see the nastiness of humanity on full display. The “left” does this, the “right” responds with this. We see people attacking opposing candidates character, yet ignoring their own. Name calling, and plots to make up lies then act as if they are true are just a few strategies employed to prevent opposing views to be established. The prophet Jeremiah was appointed by God to be His mouthpiece, His prophet to Judah. Jeremiah spoke the words God commissioned him to speak, and he was hated for it, so much so, his life was threatened. Isn’t it sad that very thing continues to this day? People would rather fight to stay in their sinful, immoral beliefs, living them out in their own perceived comfort, than actually listen to truth and adhere to doing what is right. Just like in Jeremiah’s day, we have people willing to murder to keep immoral, sinful laws we have here in this country. Don’t allow yourself to be discouraged, take heart, God does not let this last long. God examines our deepest thoughts and secrets. He knows what’s best. And He will not allow people who plot evil to go unpunished. Whenever calamity hits a society, like hurricanes, tornados, wars, pandemics, etc... it just might be God’s justice being carried out. Think about that for a minute. Unrepentance is like a slap in God’s face. And promoting others to participate in, and stopping others who promote God’s will, will only be tolerated for so long. Don’t allow yourself to get discouraged, because God has your back. He will not allow evil to go unpunished. Ask Him to help you be bold in your faith. Ask Him to empower you with His Spirit. Ask Him to set a resolve in your heart to speak truth. He will answer those prayers, just like He answered Jeremiah’s. And you will be a beacon of light shining brightly for all to see, bringing hope to those who desperately need it.

18 Then the Lord told me about the plots my enemies were making against me. 19 I was like a lamb being led to the slaughter. I had no idea that they were planning to kill me! “Let’s destroy this man and all his words,” they said. “Let’s cut him down, so his name will be forgotten forever.” 20 O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,You make righteous judgments,and You examine the deepest thoughts and secrets.Let me see your vengeance against them,for I have committed my cause to You. 21 This is what the Lord says about the men of Anathoth who wanted me dead. They had said, “We will kill you if you do not stop prophesying in the Lord’s name.” 22 So this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says about them: “I will punish them! Their young men will die in battle, and their boys and girls will starve to death. 23 Not one of these plotters from Anathoth will survive, for I will bring disaster upon them when their time of punishment comes.” Jeremiah 11:18-23
