Here\u2019s a quick application from my reading in Jeremiah the other day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: \u201cArise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.\u201d So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do. (Jeremiah 18.1 – 4, ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most obvious observation is that I can hear from God anywhere! I don\u2019t have to be \u201cin church\u201d or even \u201chaving my prayer time,\u201d as important as both of those things are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second observation is that I should be observant, looking for lessons, looking for God\u2019s truth wherever it is. (I have one in mind to share, maybe tomorrow.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I passed by the field of a sluggard,\u00a0by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,\u00a0and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns,\u00a0the ground was covered with nettles,\u00a0and its stone wall was broken down.\u00a0Then I saw and considered it;\u00a0I looked and received instruction.<\/strong>\u00a0A little sleep, a little slumber,\u00a0a little folding of the hands to rest,\u00a0and poverty will come upon you like a robber,\u00a0and want like an armed man.
