Jeremiah 21:8-9 Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague.

Jeremiah 21:8-9 (New International Version)


8 "Furthermore, tell the people, 'This is what the LORD says: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death. 9 Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague. But whoever goes out and surrenders to the Babylonians who are besieging you will live; he will escape with his life.

There are times when we find ourselves in the wrong place. Should we stay or should we go ? The decision should be simple if we are true to what we believe. Sometimes this involves giving up something precious, a good position, a good remuneration or some other sacrifice. The weight of this is only measurable by each individual and the choice is entirely yours.

John 10:28-30 (New International Version, ©2011)


28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

The eternal promise....

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death...

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Man this is one of the scariest passages in the Bible and yet the most assuring.
The extremes of life and death.
Only God can save you for human nature is to sin
There is nothing that you do, will be perfect.
The pull in many directions will lead you to sin in some way or another.
Sometimes there are things you need to accept and work with
Once you figure out that you cannot do it alone then you need to reach out to God for assistance.
Rest assured that there will always be a hand reaching back down to you.
Thats the greatest gift you can expect.
Reach out...
