Jeremiah 51:1-33
‘Lift up a
banner in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations!’ (Jeremiah
51:27). Lord, You call us to be Your witnesses. If we are growing in our
fellowship with You, we will want others to know what they’re missing.
We will want them to know how much blessing they could know - if they
put their faith in Christ and began to walk with Him day-by-day. Help
us to give our testimony: ‘The Lord is my Banner’, ‘His banner over me
is love’ (Exodus 17:15; Song of Solomon 2:4). Help us to make sure that
our ‘trumpet’ gives out ‘a clear call’, calling people to come to
Christ. May we point them to Christ, calling them to trust Him as
Saviour and obey Him as Lord. Teach us, Lord, to show them the way to
true happiness: ‘Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in
Jesus, but to trust and obey’ (Mission Praise, 760).
