8 Oct -Jeremiah 10-11; Colossians 3:18-4:18; Psalm 78:56-72; Proverbs 24:28-29

Jer 10:10 But the Lord is the true God;he is the living God and the everlasting King.

Jer 11:3 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant

v6 Hear the words of this covenant and do them.

v10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them.

How many of our relatives are blinded by the idols and their tradition believes that the god they have are made of wood and metal?

But what have we as Christian done - singing praises and praising God only. I thank God for putting this questions about life after death and therefore began a journey of searching and finally found Jesus. Not everyone, their trust has been so deeply rooted in their belief of their idols.

God has called us to be like Jeremiah. Go, go back to your people and tell them about Jesus. Remember Jer 1:6 “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,and whatever I command you, you shall speak.8 Do not be afraid of them,for I am with you to deliver you,declares the Lord.”

Lord, I pray that as you lead me and my family, let it be one that go out strongly for you. Lord, remember my father, my relatives in Singapore and in China.
