WELLNESS: Obey the LORD, and things will go well for you - Jeremiah 38:20

And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “But I am afraid of the men of Judah who have already gone over to the side of the Babylonian army. I am afraid that the soldiers will give me to those men, and they will treat me badly and hurt me.” But Jeremiah answered, “The soldiers will not give you to the men of Judah. King Zedekiah, obey the Lord by doing what I tell you. Then things will go well for you, and your life will be saved. Jeremiah 38:19-20

Gospel Truth:

• "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of The One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care." Matthew 10:28-29
• "Let the conclusion of all these thoughts be heard: Fear God and obey his commandments, for this is what it means to be human." Ecclesiastes 12:13

Quotes:

• “The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.” Oswald Chambers
• “If you know that God loves you, you should never question a directive from Him. It will always be right and best. When He gives you a directive, you are not just to observe it, discuss it, or debate it. You are to obey it.” Henry Blackaby

Praise & Prayer
It is well with my soul, O LORD, because You are my light and salvation; whom shall I fear? It is well with my soul, Sovereign LORD, because You are my Savior and the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Abba Father, I trust in Your unfailing promise proclaimed by Jeremiah to King Zedekiah, that if I obey You, it demonstrates that I love You, and things will go well for me. Holy Spirit, please remove all fear of man from my heart so I can grow stronger each day as a God-pleaser instead of a people-pleaser, as my Lord Jesus. In His mighty name, I pray.
