What does God expect His prophets to do on earth that are

delivering His message? Is God's judgement serious and is

His anger severe? Is there anyone that can ever escape His

notice?

The Lord spoke to Jeremiah to tell him of the importance

of His message. A message from God has a purpose to make

one change from sin to righteousness. God's prophets and

messengers with God's thoughts bring a sincere change-

"If they had known My secret thoughts, then they could

have proclaimed My message to My people and could have

made them give up the evil lives they live and all the

wicked things they do" (Jer 23:22). The higher thoughts

of God can be known by His prophets and messengers that

are committed to search to know His thoughts and ways.

Jeremiah spoke of the importance of the knowledge of His

ways. Judgement is part of God's nature and it will come-

"His anger is a storm, a furious wind that will rage

over the heads of the wicked, and it will not end at

all until He has done everything He intends to do. In

days to come His people will understand this clearly"

(Jer 23:19-20). God's judgement has been in the rain,

in the wind, and in the fire. Knowledge is valuable if

it is used. Knowledge of God's way of judement and His

zero tolerance of sin can convince one to repent.

The Lord spoke to Jeremiah to tell Him that all the

high heavens are His vista of the earth. All the low

places cannot escape His view; No action that can be

concealed from Him. He will judge all words and deeds

"I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place

only. No one can hide where I cannot see them. Do

you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on

earth" (Jer 23:23-24)? God's question is a motivator

to seek Him while He may found; to call on His mercy

and to ask for a better way.

Let us remember who has the higher and better way.

God's Name is Jehová Elyon. His thoughts and ways

are higher than ours. He has the solution to every

problem that we face. That solution and way can be

yours today as well. Can you turn your eyes towards

heaven 3 times today and pray to the Most High God

for a higher way? Lift your hands to Him today for

His higher way. Trust Him and Praise Him Today for

a higher and better way!
