August 18th, Jeremiah 23-25
God is always wanting to make something new to be excited about. It always pains me when a person's testimony can only speak about what God did for them 40 years ago. Like God hasn't been alive and doing anything else since. Tell me what great thing God has shown you lately.
Chapter 23:7-8 "Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when they will no longer say, As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, but, As the lord lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel...they will live on their own soil."
Maybe it's hard to get to excited about what God did 1500 years ago. Maybe it's better to discover some new thing that God is up to, that we could rejoice in. Maybe that is not just true for people from of old, but ourselves as well. What is God up to in your life? What is God teaching you? What have you learned this week to propel you forward walking with Christ? What needs revealed?What strength gained? How big and wonderful things have you discovered about the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords?
May your testimony be bigger than what God did in your life at camp or on a mission trip 5,10, 20 years ago, but the fresh work of God's life-changing power that is alive today!!
