Jeremiah 20

9 But if I say, “I will not mention his word
    or speak anymore in his name,”
his word is in my heart like a fire,
    a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
    indeed, I cannot.


Kind of a weird chapter, I didn't discover much to write about but I did take note of how Jeremiah was so on fire for God he just had to share what was in him--no matter what.  Even though his sharing seemed to do nothing but bring him grief he had to spew it anyway.

I really don't see me having such a fire burning or connection with God that I would shout it our or condemn people with what I believe God is telling them/me.  I would be more likely to avoid the conflict.  Its definitely not in my nature.  I wonder if Jeremiah as a boisterous person normally or if this went against his personality? 

I'm not sure the message for today but maybe one can be having the willingness to share God's word no matter my thoughts of how it might impact me.

I hope you guys had a good Memorial Day Weekend!
