Greetings 👋
I’m reading and meditating on Jeremiah 12 today. Jeremiah is known as “The Weeping Prophet.” He was tasked with warning people about the coming judgment.
“. . .Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why are evil people so happy?
You have planted them, and they have taken root and prospered.
Your name is on their lips, but you are far from their hearts.
But as for me, Lord, you know my heart. You see me and test my thoughts.
Drag these people away like sheep to be butchered! Set them aside to be slaughtered!. . .
“The Lord’s Reply to Jeremiah
“If racing against mere men makes you tired, how will you race against horses?
If you stumble and fall on open ground, what will you do in the thickets near the Jordan?
Even your brothers, members of your own family, have turned against you.
They plot and raise complaints against you.
Do not trust them, no matter how pleasantly they speak.”
Jeremiah 12: 1-3, 5-6 (NLT).
I ponder the lessons for us today and for nations that have ignored or abandoned the commandments of the Lord.
What stood out to you in Jeremiah 12? How do you process it when it feels like the wicked are prospering while the faithful struggle? Share your thoughts below 👇 I’d love to read them.”

Being thankful can be difficult when life gets rough. However, Christ-followers with years of experience will tell you that this simple practice can transform you, your circumstances, or both.
“Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18

I can’t help thinking that these are ill-gotten gains that illustrate a failure of the U.S. Civil Court system.

As Christians, it’s wise to regularly examine our hearts. Are we craving the world’s approval a little too much?
Jesus didn’t sugarcoat what following Him would cost:
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.
They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still ...
