Being Unpopular

December , 2007

Jeremiah 50:1-2 KJ2000
(1) The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
(2) Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded,Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

Jeremiah lived at a time when Babylon ruled the world and his prophecies from God had told it in advance. Now God has him speak another message. One that is not quite as popular with the Babylonians.

God may give us unpopular things to do or say in life. When we do what we are asked, we know we have His protection however.
