Convicted, Shaken, Revived

Wow, I am honestly trembling at God's word.
I am currently in the book of Jeremiah, and God has used this book more than any I have read so far in the b90x.  The book of Jeremiah, as most of you know, is about Jeremiah proclaiming to Judah their doom.  They continually turn from God, and turn to their other gods and yet always come dry (Jer. 11:12). Which reminds me a lot of how we operate.  We acknowledge that there is God, but turn to our other "gods" to pull us through.  And of course, we come out more empty handed than before.
But as I was so distraught over this problem, I began to reflect: do the people know that they are miserable because they are chasing so many other things besides God? And then it made me ask the question, have I as a pastor, and other pastors, proclaimed to our congregations the hard fact that rebellion from God produces condemnation?  Has it been on my heart to such a point that it has to come out?  Or are we like the false prophets who just tell people good tidings to get a good crowd(Jer. 14:13-14)?
I am honestly burdened about all of this.  Because as I read and pray, I see America being in the same situation as Judah was.  We no longer care about God's commandments but we act like we do (Jer. 7:8-15).
I will pontificate on all of this soon.  I am just burdened.  To conclude: We need multiple modern day Jeremiah's in today's world.  Especially in America.
God, please use me.  Make my heart burst if I do not proclaim the word!

Jeremiah 20:7-12

O LORD, You induced me, and I was persuaded;
      You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
      I am in derision daily;
      Everyone mocks me.
       ⁸ For when I spoke, I cried out;
      I shouted, “Violence and plunder!”
      Because the word of the LORD was made to me
      A reproach and a derision daily.
       ⁹ Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him,
      Nor speak anymore in His name.”
      But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
      Shut up in my bones;
      I was weary of holding it back,
      And I could not.
       ¹⁰ For I heard many mocking: 

      “ Fear on every side!” 

      “ Report,” they say, “and we will report it!”
      All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying,

      “ Perhaps he can be induced;
      Then we will prevail against him,
      And we will take our revenge on him.”
       ¹¹ But the LORD is with me as a mighty, awesome One.
      Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail.
      They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
      Their everlasting confusion will never be forgotten.
       ¹² But, O LORD of hosts,
      You who test the righteous,
      And see the mind and heart,
      Let me see Your vengeance on them;
      For I have pleaded my cause before You. 


Jeremiah had passion for the Word!
He weeped for His people..


Will you?


I will! 
God by your grace, I ask you to use me as a modern day Jeremiah
