TCN's Biblical Journey July 30th

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 5-8

Can you find one honest businessman?

Jeremiah 5:1 Can you find one honest businessman?

Thankfully, I believe there are some in this country. However, God says that all of the righteous-sounding people of Jerusalem were liars and didn’t seek God. He said if one person could be found that he would halt judgment.

It would be easy to look at this and focus on God’s judgment, but I see God’s mercy. One person could stop the judgment? One! This reminds me of the conversation between Abraham and God about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Perhaps this is the picture God is trying to show. The truth that a few people can make a difference. They can change the destiny of a people. However, this few make the change not because they are in political power, they post the right words on Facebook, or are in the church but because they are truthful in their lives and they seek truth (God).

Are you one of the few? Are you seeking the right things?

Then you can make a difference.
