Peace and Direction
Listen to the message that the Lord has spoken
to you, nation of Israel. This is what the Lord says:
Don’t learn the practices of the nations.
Don’t be frightened by the signs in the sky
because the nations are frightened by them.
The religion of the people is worthless.
Woodcutters cut down trees from the forest.
The hands of craftsmen prepare them with axes.
Craftsmen decorate them with silver and gold
and fasten them together with hammers and nails
so that they won’t fall over.
These trees are like scarecrows in cucumber gardens.
They aren’t able to speak.
They have to be carried,
because they can’t walk.
Don’t be afraid of them.
They can’t harm you.
They can’t do you any good either.
No one is like you, O Lord. You are great.
Your name is powerful.
Jeremiah 10:1-6 (GW)
Listen for me to speak to you throughout
your day. I do not need be in a thunderous
voice. In the quietness of thoughts I will
send my gentle breeze. My direction will
ride upon them.
Leave those nerves and anxieties upon
my altar. Allow my peace to guide you.
