Thus says the Lord...

In Jeremiah 38:1-4, the prophet pronounces a "word from the Lord" to the  people of God. In response, v. 4 says, "Then the officials said to the king, 'Let this man be put to death, for he is weakening the hands of the soldiers who are left in the city, and the hands of the all the people by speaking such words to them. For this man is not seeking the welfare of this people, but their harm.'"

How many of us respond the same way to God's Word today? We try to squirm out of it hearing or try to dismiss it when we do hear it. Or, we even try to re-interpret it so that it fits what we already desire rather than yield to the Holy Spirit to conform our desires and will to God's.

How will you respond to God's Word today? My prayer is that we will all respond in "loving obedience" to our Savior and Lord.
