July 30

One thing that I noticed in today's reading is that God told Jeremiah to do some odd things and he did them without question. Not only that, God only told him to do one thing at a time- He did not reveal the whole plan to him. He did not tell him He was going to illustrate a word picture or any other part of the plan. He just told him what to do, one step at a time and Jeremiah did it willingly and without question. This will be true of other prophets later also, I forget which one God has lay on side so many day and then the other side, set up seige works etc. All kinds of word pictures that these prophets do willingly without understanding the big picture at first. I am praying to be more in tune with God and the Holy Spirit and to be more unquestionly obedient.
