Jeremiah 1:16-17
I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness,
Because they have forsaken Me,
Burned incense to other gods,
And worshipped the works of their own hands.
Therefore prepare yourself and arise,
And speak to them all that I command you.
Do not be dismayed by their faces,
Lest I dismay you before them.
I struggled with why I felt God was leading me to preach from this book. It's not even my favorite prophecy book (Isaiah is). But then I look at these two verses, and I see the state of our country, and state. God is forsaken by the majority now, and we, as Christians, are in the minority in both our state and country. God is forsaken, how sad, how terribly sad.
But we, just as Jeremiah was called to do, are to proclaim Him. His judgment is coming for those who reject Him.
