The Weeping Prophet, Day 20

Must share God’s message. Read Jeremiah chapter 20.

Jeremiah has been beaten. God has delivered a message of destruction to Jeremiah’s captor. However, Jeremiah is still deeply frustrated and tired of being the one to share news of judgment all the time. Jeremiah complains to the Lord explaining his frustrations and how tired of this message he is. Jeremiah tells God that he doesn’t like the message and he doesn’t like sharing it anymore.

However, Jeremiah recognizes that he can’t not share. It sounds like he even has tried to not share, but the message inside him overwhelms him and is bursting forth from him.

God’s word is incredibly powerful. No matter what we have going on in our life, God’s word has the answer. God has messages to give to other people through us. God shares his word with us so that we will share his word with others. If we are not sharing his word and his message, we can feel it inside of us.

God’s word was never meant to be hoarded by one person. God’s word was meant to be shared with all. Are we sharing the message that God has given us with others?
