Don’t expect praise when you speak the truth.

Morning: Psalm 131, 132; Jeremiah 26:1-16; Romans 11:1-12

Evening: Psalm 140, 142; John 10:19-42

Priests and prophets threatened to kill Jeremiah when he warned them to mend their ways.  600 years later others wanted to stone Jesus because he claimed to be “God’s Son.”  Some people listened to Jeremiah and Jesus, some didn’t.  Usually, a small and faithful group hears the truth, believes it and acts on it.  It’s a safe bet that our efforts to speak truth are not likely to be rewarded with praise either!  Truth is hard to hear, hard to believe.
