A Sense of Urgency

“A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the LORD’s work!
   A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed! – Jeremiah 48:10

Today’s Reading: Jeremiah 48-49; Hebrews 7

When I was a little boy my only chore at my Dad’s house was to take out the trash. My Dad always said that women shouldn’t have to touch garbage if there is a man around. So once I got big enough to lift the trash bag out of the can then I became the little refuse man.

Unfortunately I was a little forgetful fellow as well.

Be Firm In Your Faith

“Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’ Have the gods of any nations ever delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria? Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand? Who of all the gods of these countries have been able to save their lands from me? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”

But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.” Isaiah 36:18-21

Today’s Reading: Isaiah 34-36; Colossians 2

Don’t let anyone steal your faith from you.
