‘When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud’
(Jeremiah 51:61). Lord, Your Word is not to be kept within the place of
worship. We are to take Your Word to ‘Babylon.’Help us to speak Your
Word in the places where You are not worshipped. May we call people to
turn from their sinful ways. May we call them to return to You, Lord.
This will not be an easy message to speak. Many people won’t want to
hear it. Help us, Lord, to Your faithful messengers, warning people that
they must not neglect Your salvation and put themselves in danger of
Your judgment. Help us to speak of the Day, when everyone of us must
‘answer’ to You concerning the way we have lived our lives (Hebrews 2:3;
4:13). Teach us to call on people to ‘believe in the Lord Jesus’ and
‘be saved’ (Acts 16:31).
Often, Lord, we feel like David - facing Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Everything seems too much for us. Was Goliath too much for David? He wasn't too much for You - and You were on David's side. We're not alone. Help us to remember this. When we feel weak, help us to remember that You are strong - and Your strength has been given to us. Thank You, Lord.
