standing alone

IMG_1432Jeremiah 15:10-16:21

The price that Jeremiah paid for his loyalty to the LORD was shame and isolation.  The people rejected him, and even when they did not – the LORD demanded that he not participate with them.  He could not marry, and he was not allowed to mourn the dead.  He knew that the words from the LORD were true, and precious, but those words brought persecution and loneliness to him.  Never assume that if you are in the center of God’s will things will go well for you.  Never assume that if things are going well for you it means you are in God’s will.

LORD, give us the courage to stand with you – even if we must stand alone.
