Jeremiah 23:9-40Jeremiah lets loose on the false prophets, who are continually offering a positive and encouraging word to a sinful people, assuring them that all is well. They assure a rebellious people that their relationship with the LORD is secure, and so the people are lulled into complacency by calm words of grace. God is against these people, and against their lying prophets, who keep telling dreams. The LORD tells Jeremiah to let those prophets tell their dreams, but the one who has his word should speak it faithfully.
LORD, forgive us for assuming that your word to us is always going to encourage us. Teach us to honor and respect your word, no matter what it is.
