Two themes today: (1) Family heritage and (2) God-resistant governments

Jeremiah 33-36

Sorry I’m a day behind. Today you get two for the price of one.

Family Heritage: The Rekabites were known because their forefather, Jehonadab, imposed some family values upon his descendants. His offspring faithfully adhered to his mandate … take no strong drink and live a nomadic life in tents. Christian fathers can have this impact upon their families. Like Joshua who said, “As for me and my house, we WILL serve the Lord,” a Godly father is wise to lovingly yet firmly set the tone for his family. Early training and Godly habits in the home are the key.

God-resistant governments: We see and hear daily examples of how our government is removing Judaeo-Christian values from our culture. This is nothing new for God. King Jehoiakim burned God’s Words which had been written on a scroll and attempted to have Jeremiah and Baruch executed. God preserved them.That’s pretty strong resistance. We should faithfully continue to serve the Lord maintaining our daily devotional habits and the Christian culture of our homes. Meanwhile, God will unfold His end-time plan for the world.
