Morning Light - Jeremiah 27

Today: [Jeremiah 27] Giving into the Inevitable. In this chapter, Jeremiah is instructed to tell the king of Judah to surrender to Babylon. There is a point that fighting against the inevitable is not a faith proposition, but merely pride. I remember a father who lost a son to his own pride. He stood over the casket in front of hundreds of mourners, shaking his fist in God’s face, demanding his son back. It wasn’t faith, it was pride. He ultimately lost his wife to divorce and his children as well. Sometimes you have to face things and just humble yourself. From that perspective restoration and healing can come. Have you confused standing in faith with stubborn pride? In this chapter, Jeremiah helps us tell the difference so that we can be healed and move on.
