“And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.”(Jeremiah 12:16)

“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.” (Romans 11:22)

ACTION: Shun unbelief and the evil ways of the world and continue in God’s goodness. Evangelise the disobedient with expectation of salvation. Persevere in the face of insults, persecution, losses and whatever challenges may come up, so that as we do the will of God, we will receive what He has promised.

PRAYER: Our Father, please make us Your lights that shine in the darkness around us. Help us not to blend into the darkness for fear of not conforming, or to enable us to meet our needs. God is good!
