JEREMIAH 32
“Put your money where your mouth is!” is an American saying that means “Practice what you preach!” Jeremiah had been preaching that the Jews would one day return from exile, so God made him prove that he really believed God’s promise. Whenever you share the Word with people, expect to be tested. This is the only way they can tell the reality of your faith.
How foolish to purchase property in a town occupied by the enemy! But if you believe that there is a future for that land, you will not hesitate to buy it. God’s people live in the future tense and measure today’s decisions in the light of tomorrow’s certainties.
You may feel let down after you have made a great step of faith, and that is the time to pray and let the Lord speak to you and assure you. People may laugh at you, but rest in the Lord and allow Him to encourage you.
