052: A fire in my bones | Jeremiah 20:9

The message of Jesus cannot be contained.

This week, we are in the book of Jeremiah. Every day, our One Verse will be from the Old Testament prophet. Jeremiah didn’t have the easiest life. He even told God that He deceived him. That’s pretty bold. Our One Verse today comes just two verses later. Even though Jeremiah was frustrated, he knew that God’s message was a fire in his bones he could not contain. I love this verse. I think this is a rally cry for anyone who desires to be a Light Bearer and a true follower of Jesus. The message of Love of Jesus is like a fire we cannot control. We don’t need to be preaching on the street corners. But for anyone that is serious about following Jesus, His message will pour out of us.

One Verse is a short, daily devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
