Handle With Care

Good morning, Lord

Verse of the Day: Luke 1:78,79 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high, 79to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.

Memory verse: Philippians 4:8 ►Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Today's reading: JEREMIAH 51-52 HEBREWS 9

Handle With Care

Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not My word like fire?” says Adonai,

“or like a hammer that shatters rock?

Do you dare? Do you dare to take God at His word? His word is like fire...like a hammer that shatters rock.

How many of us take this seriously enough to know that while we can wield God's word with His loving kindness around the most tender child that God's power can shatter mountains?(See 1 Kings 19:11-13)

After all this display of God's power, the scripture says,

13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

God has given us His word. He has given us all His power.

What are we doing here?

It is time to put down all our pretensions and all the lies and excuses and humble ourselves and go out of the cave we are in and answer God and tell Him with complete honesty what we are doing right where we are.

Then, confess and tell God you want to desire what He wants.

All of us have work to do before His throne...

...because He loves us...

Father in Heaven,

I confess, I have wasted Your time over and over. Give me the desire to be completely honest and to listen and obey Your every powerful word.

In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ,

Amen
