Do you have God’s hope in this fallen world?

I read recently about three things vital to live a good life: rest, renewal, and realignment. Each one of these has to do with our physical as well as our emotional health. A balanced life will include ways of getting healthy, staying healthy, and responding to changes in the world around you.

What does rest, renewal, and realignment look like in your spiritual life?

Do you have the appropriate disciplines in your life to bring restoration?

A long time ago Jeremiah receives his calling as an evangelist and prophet – a spokesperson from God. It is healthy to know and understand God’s purpose and plan for your life.

What does calling look like in today’s culture and in the church?

“Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. 18 Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 1:17-19

Jeremiah reminds us to be faithful and obedient to God’s Word.

Two things he (we) must be faithful:

(1.) He must speak all that he is told.

(2.) He must speak with everyone God instructs him to share.
 
Be wise today and always - finish the work God has given you.
