August 17 ... Jeremiah 18 - 22 "God's Word is Burning in my Bones"

HOW DO I WORSHIP THE BIG LIE?  Jeremiah 18:4 - Can't God do just as the potter does?  God would start over with you if you just repented for you have left Him to worship the Big Lie.  Jeremiah 19:11 I'll smash you like a clay pot into so many pieces it can never be put together again.  You're set in your ways and won't budge.  

IS GOD'S WORD A FIRE INSIDE OF ME?  BURNING IN MY BONES?  Jeremiah 19:1  The priest himself hears Jeremiah preach a sermon about impending doom.  He beats him and puts Jeremiah in the stocks.  This is the priest!   Jeremiah 19:7 You pushed me into this, God, and I let you do it.You were too much for me. And now I'm a public joke. They all poke fun at me.,,,And all I get for my God-warnings are insults and contempt. But if I say, "Forget it---No more God-Messages from me!"  I can't! The words are fire in my belly,  a burning in my bones. I'm worn out trying to hold it in. Jeremiah 19:11 God, a most fierce warrior, is at my side.  Jeremiah 19:12  Oh, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, no one fools you. You see through everyone, everything. I want to see you pay them back for what they've done. Jeremiah 20:14  Curse the day I was born! Life's been nothing but trouble and tears, and what's coming is more of the same. 

WHAT DESIRES ARE STRONGEST IN MY LIFE THIS MOMENT?   One moment Jeremiah is complaining about being a public joke.  The next moment he is overwhelmed with the Most Fierce Warrior at his side, followed right by his cursing the day he was born.  There is that collision of two kingdoms.  God rescued Jeremiah six times.  He will rescue me from my worst fear of being I.N.V.I.S.I.B.L.E. not my fear of pain.  "And when the night is darkest is the Morning Star visible."  66 LL
