Jeremiah 5:10-6:8
‘A horrible and shocking thing
has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule
by their own authority, and My people love it this way’ (Jeremiah 5:31)!
Sometimes, Lord, people are happy to listen to ‘prophets’ – so long as
their preaching isn’t too challenging. They’re happy to attend the
services conducted by ‘priests’ – so long as nobody expects them to
change their way of life. They don’t want ‘prophets’ and ‘priests’ who
take Your Word seriously. Help us, Lord, to be serious about preaching
Your Word. Help us to be serious about living in obedience to
Your Word. This won’t be popular. We won’t be giving people what
they want – but we’ll be giving them what they what they need. We’ll
be challenging them to ‘get real’ with You, Lord. Help us, Lord to do
what You want us to do – not what other people want us to do.
