Jeremiah 42:3: Paralysis
Thursday, August 15, 2019
Jeremiah 42:3: Let the Lord God show us what way we should take and what we should do.
Several options lie before us; we cannot decide what to do.
Our opponents attack us: we cannot decide what to say.
We become blinded by our quickly paced life; we are deafened by too many voices that clamor for our attention.
God says: Let me show you which way to go; let me give you the words you are to speak. Even if you are afraid to go where I call or to give voice to my love . . . you need not fear. I will never abandon you. All you need do is listen. All you need do is be still. And a voice from behind shall sound in your ears telling you when to turn to the right or to the left as my prophet Isaiah has said (30:21).
When we are too confused and too paralyzed to react let us be still . . . to listen. Let us put our trust in God . . . to speak. Let us believe that God lives in us . . . and act. For in this way the paralysis we see as curse . . . becomes a transforming gift.
