The Weeping Prophet, Day 28

“Liar, liar, pants on fire.” Jeremiah accuses the other prophet of lying. Read Jeremiah chapter 28.

One of the other prophets keeps telling the people and the king that everything is going to be ok. He goes through the process of making a big show to demonstrate this. However, it doesn’t matter how much of a demonstration he makes, Jeremiah tells him that he is just a liar. He is not speaking the truth of God, but is lying to the people. Jeremiah wants the people to realize that even though this other prophet’s message is what they would want to hear.

We need to stay focused on the truth, even when it’s not convenient. Jeremiah called out the lies of the other prophet. Will we stay focused on the truth of God, even when it is inconvenient or uncomfortable?
