August 13, Day 225

Today's Reading

But stop using this phrase, `prophecy from the Lord .' For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord of Heaven's Armies. (Jeremiah 23:36 NLT) The older I get, the more respect I have for that command.

Over the summer, Stone Ridge Church has been studying Zechariah, who prophesied after God's people returned from 70 years of captivity. Jeremiah (Chapter 25) prophesied exactly that number of years before it came about.

Stern warnings today from a prophet who lived in perilous times. You and I have been called to live in such times, too, I think.
