Forsaking Peer Pressure

 

Today's verse is Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt ustand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

    Have you not heard the command: Ye shall be holy, for I am holy? It is by this principle that God so gives the command we see above to Jeremiah. For when we choose to follow the Most Holy God, then we ought to choose him above all else, above all others, yea above wife, or children, mother or father, close friend and neighbour (Is he not worthy) as we seek to follow him and his ways. Let them be affected by you, let not them affect you to cause you to stubble from the way your Saviour has shown you, not returning from the way he saved you from, nor them that walk in it, but allow them to follow after you and come to you as you introduce them to the same One that Saved you. And so shall you take the precious from the vile. Amen.

To God be the Glory
