Jeremiah

Meanwhile, Favor is Working, While You're Waiting? MEANWHILE (God follows through, Jeremiah 15:11) "Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah... to the captain of the guard, saying, "Take him and look after him, and do him no harm; but do to him just as he (Jeremiah) says to you. So they sent someone to take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison... MEANWHILE, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, "GO and speak to Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian..." (Jeremiah 39:11-16). Meanwhile... Jeremiah 39:11-18 Meanwhile... Favor is working when you're wondering, how to fulfill the assignment God's given. Meanwhile... Favor is working, when God tells you you're getting out, without telling you you're getting out. Meanwhile... Favor is working, when your trust is at work, when nothing will work for those around you or those against you. Meanwhile... Favor is working, when your enemy has the momentum and plotting against you. #nestingwithjesus #jeremiah #jeremiah38 #jeremiah39 #outoftouch #blamedJeremiah #ebedmelech #Ethiopian #meanwhile #trusted #compassion #navy #trash #mire #pit #muck #zephaniah3and16thru20 #psalms142and7 #Psalms32and7 #wisdom #givingthroughpeople #ropes #rags #clothes #thosethatpassyouup #thosethatbeatyouup #thosethatpickyouup #thosethathelpyouup #luke10and25 #luke10and25thru37 #Jesus #thegoodSamaritan #threekindsofpeople #threetypesofpeople #favor #favorisworking

Secrets and Standards Passed Down When wisdom and loyalty are rewarded… God contrasted the conditions and consequences of devotion and disrespect, loyalty to wise standards and loyalty to wicked self. The trajectory of our legacy and loyalty will forever effect our families, one way or another. (Jeremiah 34 ; 35) Jonadab the Rechabite grabbed a few secrets from his great grandfather and set a new standard for his people. Abraham was a man who PITCHED his tents... but BUILT alters. What would you say he emphasized was more important in his life? These men were not ashamed of be different for the right reasons and the right One. #nestingwithjesus #jeremiah #jeremiah36 # jeremiah35 #jeremiah29and18 #jeremiah2 #jetemiah30 #jeremiah12 #jeremiah33 #jeremiah32 #stone #rock #lifeless #unmoved #levites #david #kings #priest #value #puzzle #dating #girldad #beingdifferent #standards #Baruch #write #book #scroll #stressed #expectations #dreams #greatthings #Rechabites #Jonadab #jonadabtherechabite #jehu #2kings10 ##tents #altars #build #Abraham #secret #245years

No Shame in Being Different Not Ashamed to Be Different When wisdom and loyalty are rewarded… Jonadab the Rechabite God contrasted the conditions and consequences of devotion and disrespect, loyalty to wise standards and loyalty to wicked self. The trajectory of our legacy and loyalty will forever effect our families, one way or another. Leadership principles Leaders... they come in all forms, shapes and sizes --- but what's common among them --- is their ability to inspire and capacity to influence. (Proverbs 6:6-8) Leadership is rooted in convictions... yet the reward of leadership is confidence in your your ability to keep getting up. Set backs are new starting points for leaders... Leadership is highlighted in the ability to make wise decisions and to recalculate those decision as necessary. Leaders are calculated risk takers who make decision for others without asking them for advice... while inspiring them to think and accomplish great things... influencing change. Influencing people to multiply themselves... rooted in convictions, rewarded with confidence to lead others to things bigger than themselves and what they know today. #nestingwithjesus #jeremiah #jeremiah34 #jeremiah35 #jeremiah32 #jeremiah33 #rechabites #jonadab #jehu #secretofabraham #builtaltars #pitchedtents #obedience #loyal #horror #jews #slaves #release #jeremiah2 #jeremiah12 #jeremiah7and18 #contrasted

Write It In a Book Jeremiah's assistant, a scribe, Baruch was sought out to pen what God had given. (Jeremiah 36) Jeremiah is confined and restricted but God is not… and He had a plan to get His message to the people. What did the king do? He threw the scroll in the fire. Was God done? No! What did God do? He had him pen it again. #nestingwithjesus #jeremiah #jeremiah1 #jeremiah26 #jeremiah16 #jeremiah36 #penit #writeitdown #Baruch #JeremiahandBaruch

Frustrations and Famines It shall be WHEN you shall be... 
 Droughts and doubts... mope or hope? 
 Droughts and doubts are two things that go hand in hand. And for God's people they never happen by accident. Jeremiah promised that frustrations and famines would become their norm because their normally excluded the fountain of living water. 
 God's pretty clear about what He'll do/give when we answer His call and follow His leadership and when we ignore Him and His ways. He tells us up front how He will respond to our response to Him and His loving lead over our lives. This is why the Newer Testament says, "God shall not be mocked, a man shall reap what he sows or glean what he gives or receive what he releases or produce what he plants." And whether we like it or not... time has been a faithful witness to this truth, over and over again, God is never mocked, blocked or docked when it comes to us gleaning what what we give. 
 Today's reading in Isaiah 58 reminded me of one of those times. I pondered the storyline of Ahab, Jezebel and Elijah and I couldn't help but connect the dots of DROUGHT and DOUGHT and FAMINE and FRUSTRATION in their days. 
 Think about it? There are so many who are famished and frustrated today... and they, as with most cases of frustration, want to blame everyone else for their DROUGHTS and the growing number of DOUBTS that's manipulating their mind. 
 No matter how you look at it... doubts and frustrations have a deteriorating and lasting effect upon our delight in something we once found delight in. And, with a strong lack of DELIGHT in the things of God, they embraced the lie that everyone else was to blame for the drought and famine. They put

Spent For His Glory Jeremiah, along with all those who lived being spent for God's glory, was a risk takers who lived to reinforce others, that they may live their lives to the glory of the Lord. What made him and others, like Paul and the New Testament disciples, different? Join me as we look a Acts 14 and glean from the servants of God, those who were spent for His glory. 1. Their DEVOTION has no limits. 2. Their DILIGENCE is not affected by rejection. 3. Their DUTY is not driven by praise. 4. Their DELIGHT is not fed by convenience. #nestingwithjesus #jeremiah #jeremiah32 #jeremiah33 #jeremiah34 #jeremiah31 #acts14 #Acts14and19thru23 #HowTOBESpentForHisGlory #2samuel22 #psalms18 #gentlenessofGod #compassionofGod #reinforce #strengthen #devotionwithnolimitsrestrictions #comforts #luke9 #pity #pityparty #luke17and10 #diligence #duty #delight

Recognizing the Voice of God… Daniel KNEW who was speaking, when the prophet Jeremiah spoke. Why? The servant of God, who is right with God, can discern the voice of God when He speaks. #nestingwithjesus #jeremiah #jeremiah25 #ezekiel36 #daniel9 #daniel11 #antichrist #thebeast #thesea #restraint #thankful #galatians6 #ezekiel37 #mystery #lawlessness #godliness #babylon #assyria #greece #rome #egypt #medes #persians #future #history #prophesies #eschatology #praying #revelation13 #revelation17 #beast #statue #kingdoms #ram #goat #alexander #Medes #Persians #Babylon #antichrist #harlot
