Jeremiah 42 - Day 692 (link to reading)
Scripture: Jeremiah 42:1-6 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): As the story continues, the men and people of Judah sought out Jeremiah. They were in desperation for favor from God. They were feeling the affliction as their numbers had been seriously reduced. “Pray for us” was their first request. “We will do whatever God asks…” was the second statement. What we will see is they wanted the prayers but were unwilling to do what God said. This is revealed in the next chapter. Application: In the NT, Jesus instructs us to say what we mean. Although the remnant appears sincere, they're really "fishing" for the answer that they want to hear. YHWH knows our hearts so we might as well be honest with Him and ourselves. Prayer: Search my heart oh God... Comments are closed.
