God is looking at our work just like Jeremiah
Jeremiah was bold before people
But he was ‘broken’ before the Lord
Scripture gives us no indication that Jeremiah
Had an audience or a single convert but God was with him
Jeremiah spoke negative words to his generation which is similar to our generation

Spiritual lukewarmness in our generation is common
Brokenness in religion is rare and so we must
Dare to confront our generation just like Jeremiah
Almost everyone in Israel did not like
Jeremiah because of his message
Jeremiah was a powerful preacher
But he essentially stood alone so
Let us not moan when we find ourselves alone
Let us not moan when we feel that people are
Not reading our words but let us remember
That God is looking at our work just like Jeremiah

Jeremiah was not allowed to have a wife
But God gave him a life with purpose and passion
His life was before the Throne of God so
Let us not moan when we find ourselves alone

Today, God has prepared many to speak like Jeremiah
But some have rejected the way of Jeremiah because the
Pleasures of life are to strong
However, let us hold on and let us confront
Our generation just like Jeremiah
Even if we must stand alone and even
If people don't read our words

We must stand and fulfil our task
We have Jesus Christ our Lord and
So we can go against all odds
Jeremiah was bold before people
But he was ‘broken’ before the Lord

Let us do the same
