We Are Called To Be Faithful

 Jeremiah was a sensitive man who wore his heart on his sleeve. He had been divinely called to denounce Israel's spiritual apostasy and proclaim severe judgement upon them. They had gone astray and had willingly become embroiled in the practices and perversions of their pagan neighbors.
 Throughout his life, Jeremiah was faithful in delivering the Word of the Lord to the errant people of Israel, despite his message being rejected by the masses and derided by the king. Yet Jeremiah trusted God's promises. He was part of a little remnant of committed believers and cried out for healing and deliverance: Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
 Like Jeremiah, We Are Called To Be Faithful in the work that God has given us to do. We are not to become discouraged if our life appears mundane or our ministry seems unfruitful. Like Jeremiah, we are called to be faithful to the point of death and we will receive healing, deliverance, and the eternal reward that God has prepared for those that love and trust Him. 

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the historical record of Israel's history, which has so much to teach us of your plans and purposes for mankind and Your goodness and grace toward us. May we learn from their mistakes and be guided into godly living. Thank You that You can be trusted to fulfil Your promises to Your people and to correct us when we go astray. We pray that we would be faithful in the work You have given for us to do, and thank You that in You is healing, wholeness, hope, and joy, for You are our God and are worthy of all our praise, AMEN.
