Let us be righteous even in hard times�
July 16, 2010
Even it is very hard to righteous in a hard time, we still can be righteous. That time, the nation of Judah was not in a good condition. A nation call Babylon will attack them and take them to captive. All the people and the king know this because GOD via Jeremiah has told them.
They will become slaves to the Babylonian, I can imagine that many of the Judah will panic because they have heard and seen the King of Israel and the people of Israel were taken captive by Assyrian long time ago before them and became slave to the Assyrian.
But, there was still one group of people that still do the righteous. They are Rechabites: Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and whole house of Rechabites. The still keep their life clean and obey the teachings of their father.
Yes, this time is a hard time for me. Economically is not good and my laundry business still not able to maintain my family, yet. This month, I have no more money to bring my daughter to the school. But, in another side, I must always keep my self �clean� from any bad attitude, negative thinking, and any crime. I still make my self and my family love GOD as same as when before I bankrupt.
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. Jer 35:2 (KJV)
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever. Jer 35:5-6 (KJV)
Jeremiah 34-36
