DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 20 to 21:18; Lamentations 1; 1 Timothy 4
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Jeremiah 1:10
This was God’s mandate for Jeremiah in his time, but can be applied to every believer today. How can we pull down and destroy all around us that is anti-God? Not by holding demonstrations but by giving ourselves to prayer. I Sam 17:47 tells us “The battle is the Lord’s.” But not only should we pray, but plant, that is, passing on God’s word at every opportunity. It is through these two ministries that you will see the light of God's blessing shining in the dark corner where you live. —David Croudace
Let not fear your heart appal, naught of evil can befall,
Stronger is your God than all. Keep on praying. —R. O. Smith
