I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last.

 “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”  (Matthew 14: 8 NIV)

When God appointed Jeremiah as prophet,  He urged him to be bold and courageous and God promised him protection.  (Jeremiah 1: 8) John the Baptist paid with his life for his prophetic ministry.  (Matthew 14: 8) What is the difference?  God’s ways are not our ways.  His thoughts are not our thoughts. (Isaiah 55: 8 - 9)
How about your own ministry?  Where is God leading you?
