Now this is what the LORD says concerning Judah’s royal palace: “I love you as much as fruitful Gilead and the green forests of Lebanon. But I will turn you into a desert, with no one living within your walls. I will call for wreckers, who will bring out their tools to dismantle you. They will tear out all your fine cedar beams and throw them on the fire. [Jeremiah 22.6-7]
It occurred to me today that Jesus telling His followers to "speak to the mountain..." was not the first time inanimate things were spoken to! Jeremiah spoke for God to Judah's royal palace.
What is the lesson from this?
Perhaps we would do well to consider the power of our words. Perhaps we would do well to consider the effect our words can have even on inanimate objects.
Father, help me to see that my words were meant to carry power.
