What do you see?

Stand Up and Say Your Piece



11-12 God's Message came to me: "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I said, "A walking stick—that's all."And God said, "Good eyes! I'm sticking with you. I'll make every word I give you come true."
13-15 God's Message came again: "So what do you see now?" I said, "I see a boiling pot, tipped down toward us."Then God told me, "Disaster will pour out of the north on everyone living in this land. Watch for this: I'm calling all the kings out of the north." God's Decree.
15-16" They'll come and set up headquarters facing Jerusalem's gates, Facing all the city walls, facing all the villages of Judah. I'll pronounce my judgment on the people of Judah for walking out on me—what a terrible thing to do!—And courting other gods with their offerings, worshiping as gods sticks they'd carved, stones they'd painted.

17" But you—up on your feet and get dressed for work! Stand up and say your piece. Say exactly what I tell you to say. Don't pull your punches or I'll pull you out of the lineup.

Jeremiah 1:11-17 (The Message)


What do you see? In your daily routine, stop and take notice of what the Lord is showing you today. He wants to show you things to come. He wants to reveal His next course of events to you, about your job, your children, spouse, or whatever the case may be. He is interested in your life and He wants the best for you. As you begin to take this journey, don't be afraid to speak and act on what God shows you. Some will call you crazy, others may laugh out loud, but at least you will not be taken out of the lineup!
