| Publisher Description: Excerpt from JEREMIAH 6: ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE BOSS There is a verse that truly jumps out of this chapter, spoken by the LORD God directly to Jeremiah the Prophet, an encouragement meant for him especially: "I have made you an assayer and a tester among My People, that you may know and assay their way" (Jeremiah 6:27). Right in the middle of Jeremiah faithfully reporting the impending destruction of Jerusalem, his Heavenly Father sensed that Jeremiah was cringing a little at the severity of Jerusalem's coming punishment; so God reinforced him by saying: "Jeremiah, My faithful son, even when it is unpleasant news to deliver, I have made you the conduit through which I AM warning My Children. In your own heart, you must weight it, test it, sift it, and then present it, so you are telling the strongest truth you can. This is your responsibility, and I trust you completely with it. Go on, Jer, you can do it" (verse 27; highly paraphrased). As a Scribe for God's purposes, I too could use that kind of reinforcement and encouragement from my Boss. |
