Jeremiah 35-57
Today is a little bit harder to write about. I'm having one of those mornings. I'm trying to get myself together to be ready to see my students, but all I have is tired. What Word does the Lord have for me today?
In this passage, Jeremiah is repeatedly trying to get the attention of Israel and the king of Judah, but they won't listen. They have no fear of the Lord. The king even burns the scroll Jeremiah wrote that was from God. If that doesn't say, "God, Your Word means nothing!" I don't know what does. But that's what went on.
Keep my heart from being hard Lord. Let me always listen to wise council, even if I think my way is better. I think this might be the Word for me today. When I get to school, and people start making suggestions of how I could do things, I should listen. When they say, "Don't reinvent the wheel" I know they were talking to me. It is evidently my life goal to write a curriculum by myself because it's what I've set out to do. I don't want to be a teacher island, I just don't know how to collaborate. Help me have courage to work with others, to ask for help, to ask for ideas. Help me listen even when I think I have the best idea ever. Give me energy for the day Lord!
Coffee doesn't cut it because my joy comes from the Lord.
