Bad news doesn’t mean bad news at all…

Bad news doesn’t mean bad news at all…

July 20, 2010

When I read Jeremiah, I feel that there was no good news there. The content is about the punishment of God, wrath of God, the curse from God, everything bad. I was so sad. I need refreshment in this condition.

Today my father and I were failed to convince the business men to join the business. There are so many reasons they give. I wish that I have the enough money to buy the farm from my father so, my father doesn’t have to worry about his farm any more.

Although today we don’t get the alliance for the business, we get two workers that want to keep the farm save from trespassing. I think that this is from GOD. May be God has his plan for us to advance this farm without the alliance or may be God wants me to create an alliance system, the best one.

Sometimes when I think bad news, may be it is good news. I still love God and believe that everything from him is good for me.


How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy! Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts. And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.

Being worry is like a disease. It eats my heart, my faith and my self esteem. It also eats my relationship with GOD. I must not be worry even I have so many reasons to worry.

I want to thank God because this is the first day my daughter goes to school. She is in kindergarten now. Even she cried loud in the beginning, she went home happily. My business is still not good enough to feed us. What should I do? I don’t know except to give more brochures. I wish there will be a miracle.

Today I learn that I should not murmur because God does not like it. Baruch murmured and God punished him. I don’t want God punishes me. I must again set my heart to be a grateful heart.

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. Jer 45:1-5 (KJV)

The story has not end yet…

The story of Israel and Judah is not end yet. Even they were taken captive by the Babylonians, God still watching and wait for someone that wanted to seek him.

There were some one called Johanan. He seek God’s advice via Jeremiah and Jeremiah told him that God will protect him if he didn’t go to the Egypt. But, Johanan disobeyed God and he went to Egypt. God let the Babylonians attack the Egypt.

Some time when we seek advices and the advices are not the same as our will, we become angry and disobey the advices. We seek advice without a humble heart. We just look for follower, not advice.

In the body of Christ, everyone can seek and give advices. This can make the body firm. We just need to be humble. God just want me to be humble and the story will go on. The story of God within me will go on.

And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah. Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;  If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you. Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
