Jer. 1:3-10:The Lord God calls Jeremiah to go and tell his people all the messages God tells him to tell them. Jeremiah say, "But I am but a boy." God tells Jeremiah, " I called you to be my prophet from your Mother's womb. So go, tell & don't be afraid, for I am with you."
Ps. 71:1-16: A prayer of an aging saint who has been faithful to God since childhood. The saint is recalling those days and is now asking for protection from those who seek to do harm to him.
Heb. 12:18-29:Paul reminds the Hebrews of the time when God spoke to them from MT. Zion. Then he tells them that they have not come to an earthly mountain, but a heavenly one. This Heavenly mountain is the one Jesus died upon, so that we could be rejoined with God. So now that we are God's people through Jesus, we should listen to the voice of God. If we do not,we will be judged more harshly then they. Our judgment will be felt not only on earth, but in heaven also. So Let us be thankful for the spiritual things of God that ca not be shaken.
Luke 13:10-17:Jesus heals a woman on the Sabbath. The spiritual leaders looks down on him for doing so. Jesus tells them that it is not right to water your animals on the Sabbath, but now allow this woman to be freed from Satan's slavery on the Sabbath.
God called Jeremiah when he was a young man to go and prophecy to kings and kingdoms. This scared him as he was so young & he did not feel like he was experienced enough. But God reassured him that he had planned for him to do this when he made him in his Mother's womb. So Jeremiah went (Jer. 1:4-10). In Psalms 71, we see a prayer that is prayed by a faithful old saint. This could have been a prayer that Jeremiah had prayed (Ps. 71:1-6). God had to call men like Moses and Jeremiah to prophecy to his people, because they did not want God to talk straight to them as he had on Mt. Zion . These days, we do not need to go to a mountain to hear God speak to us. We can read his message in his Bible & hear him talk to us in prayer (Heb.12:18-29). But we should not be so ridged in our walk with God that we are not willing to help a poor soul, no matter what day it is. We see Jesus address this when he healed the lamb lady on the Sabbath day (Luke 13:10-17). We should act on the words spoken by Paul and look to the spiritual, so that we will not be shaken in our faith (Heb. 12:25-29).
