Nonstop

Stop the nonstop. 

Wait. Breathe.

Be still and know that He is God. 

Not an easy sell to busy minds. Crowded calendars. Never-ending notifications. 

But necessary.

Needful.

Jesus knows roots

Jesus knows roots.

Fig tree. On the road to Jerusalem. Cursed by Jesus for its fruitlessness. “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.”

Not even fig-bearing season, the disciples note. But they’re listening.

And we are too. Wondering. Pondering.

False

False prophecy. False claims.

Rampant in Old Testament days. And today.

Hananiah uses the lingo of a true prophet. Sounding official.

“This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel says…. This is the Lord’s declaration…. This is what the Lord says…” (Jeremiah 28:2,4,11).

But he’s using the Lord’s name in vain.

False prophet Hananiah. Jeremiah 28.
