So Be it Lord

Jeremiah 11:1-6
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 3 and say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant 4 which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your God,’ 5 that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them ‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is this day.”And I answered and said, “So be it, LORD.” 6 Then the LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them.

The question is will be like Jeremiah? The Lord has told us to go to all the world and to proclaim the gospel to every creature. We need ask the Lord for boldness to be like Jeremiah to go into the cities and the streets to reach people. There are so many people in the world who will never walk into a church. That is why the Lord told us to go, He didn't tell us to stay and to wait for them to come. Do what ever you can. Pass out tracts, talk to people, or open air preach. Whatever you do make sure your doing something for the Kingdom of God. Be like Jeremiah and answer His call with "So be it Lord."
