8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. 9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Jer. 20:8-9, Kjv
Sometimes no matter how difficult the struggle gets, no matter the pain of the trial, no matter how many people leave, how many stop following, no matter how many don't care to listen, You Just Can't Shake the assignment!
Jeremiah was receiving death threats, the people didn't want to hear another word from him because he was telling the truth, and the truth can hurt!
Here he is, being obedient to the Lord, trying to help someone else to not continue on their path of destruction, but instead of receiving the help, wisdom, guidance in love they reject it and him. Sound familiar?
Often times we fall in the same category as Jeremiah and we decide we are going to stop trying to help anyone, we will stay silent and let them find their own way, but you just can't help yourself. It's the anointing on your life and the burning passion for God and his people that just won't let you keep quiet, you have to tell it!
So yes, the heat gets hot, but you can stay in the Kitchen because God has anointed you for this!!!
