‘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).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
