Jeremiah chapter 4 verse 19

my anguish my anguish I writhe in pain.

Oh the walls of my heart, my heart is beating wildly.

I cannot keep silent, for I hear the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. What a big

of the anguishing heart of God in Jeremiah as a prophet. He's anguishing over people in their sin and the effects of that

before God he knows he knows that the judgment of God is coming. He knows

that the people that God has called him to speak to are about to experience the wrath of God in foreign armies coming upon them and he's writhing.

I mean the languisher is so strong he's writhing pain, the walls of his heart are about to burst.

His heart is beating wildly, which provokes him to speak.

Oh, God's word has this kind of effect. And it's not just for

Jeremiah the prophets and it's intended to be for us, for every one of us who knows the word of God and is surrounded by people who are

at this moment under the judgment of God and

wrath is coming and this is what the Bible teaches we can't soften over this

we need to feel this we need to feel this in our hearts with anguish.

Like people around us, peoples around the world

who don't know and believe the gospel when they die will experience eternal judgment.

Separation from God, the wrath of God do sin. That's what's coming for people who don't hear and

believe in trust in Jesus. So do our hearts writhe in anguish over them. Do our hearts

beat wildly in such a way that we are provoked to speak. We can't stay silent because

we hear the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. We know what's coming. Oh God give us this kind of writhing and anguish in our heart.

Lord, I pray for my own heart and I pray for others or listen to this right now.
