Day of Praise

Mon, 03/06/17, "Day of Praise"

"Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, "This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'You have obeyed the command of your forefather Jehonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.' Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Jehonadab son of Rekab will never fail to have a descendant to serve me.'" - Jeremiah 35:18-19

This is a good thing. It is a good thing that "the God of Israel, says: 'Jehonadab son of Rekab will never fail to have a descendant to serve me.'" (Jeremiah 35:19)

What that means is that they have more than enough strength to serve.

Look around. We live in a world that is full of tired people, that is, people who do not have enough strength to serve.

Recently, my son and I stopped into a popular sporting goods store for one item. We easily saw at least 30 employees in the front of the store. It was 1 pm.

They all looked tired. Yawning. Slumping. Rubbing their eyes. 

We live in a world full of tired people.

God offers an alternative, namely, trust, listen for, follow, and serve the LORD. 

It is a proposition of faith, that in serving the LORD you find renewed strength.

Trust him. Try it. And see. 

I pray you have a blessed day with the LORD!

Praise God!
