GCF EAST DEVOTION | JEREMIAH 20:7-18 | WEEK 27 | DAY 05 | OCTOBER 2, 2020

Devotion by: Deacon Jerry Payocong
Devotion Title: A PAINFUL HONEST PRAYER
Scripture Reading: JEREMIAH 20:7-10 (NASB) -
7 O Lord, You have deceived me and I was deceived;
You have overcome me and prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day long;
Everyone mocks me.
8 For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I proclaim violence and destruction,
Because for me the word of the Lord has resulted
In reproach and derision all day long.
9 But if I say, “I will not remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,”
Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And I cannot endure it.
10 For I have heard the whispering of many,
“Terror on every side!
Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”
All my trusted friends,
Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be deceived, so that we may prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”

Our devotion this week will be led by our Bible Study Teachers.
