288.

 Jeremiah's Message for Zedekiah
1.

Today's Passage: Jeremiah 21:1-14


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).



Thank You for meeting us, LORD.
We welcome you into this place.


1. The LORD spoke through Jeremiah when King Zedekiah sent Pashhur son of Malkijah and Zephania son of Maaseiah, the priest, to speak with him. They begged Jeremiah,
2. "Please speak to the LORD for us and ask him to help us. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking Judah. Perhaps the LORD will be gracious and do a mighty miracle as he has done in the past. Perhaps he will force Nebuchadnezzar to withdraw his armies."

3. Jeremiah replied, "Go back to King Zedekiah and tell him
4 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I will make your weapons useless against the king of Babylon and the Babylonians who are outside your walls attacking you. In fact, I will bring your enemies right into the heart of this city.
5. I myself will fight against you with a strong hand and a powerful arm, for I am very angry. You have made me furious!
6. I will send a terrible plague upon this city, and both people and animals will die.
7. And after all that, says the LORD, I will hand over King Zedekiah, his staff, and everyone else in the city who survives the disease, war, and famine. I will hand them over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and to their other enemies. He will slaughter them and show  them no mercy, pity, or compassion.
8. "Tell all the people, 'This is what the LORD says: Take your choice of life or death!
9. Everyone who stays in Jerusalem will die from war, famine, or disease, but those who go out and surrender to the Babylonians will live. Their reward will be life!
10. For I have decided to bring disaster and not good upon this city, says the LORD. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon, and he will reduce it to ashes.'

11. "Say to the royal family of Judah, 'Listen to this message from the LORD!
12. This is what the LORD says to the dynasty of David:

"'Give justice each morning to the people you judge! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Otherwise, my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.
13. I will personally fight against the people in Jerusalem, that mighty fortress ⏤ the people who boast, "No one can touch us here. No one can break in here."
14. And I myself will punish you for your sinfulness, says the LORD. I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you.' "
Jeremiah 21: 1-14 NLT


2.

21st strategy.
(And, But, So) the LORD says/said:...


  • Open your heart in prayer.
  • Ask God to give you wisdom from His Scripture.
  • Read the passage.
  • Re-read the passage.
  • Is the LORD speaking?
  • Is He addressing the Israelites? the world? lost sinners? a particular person?
  • What is He saying?
  • Can you glean insight or wisdom from His words?
  • How, when, why?
  • What will you do with what you have had laid on your heart today?
  • Ask God to give you what you need.
  • Trust Him to do just that.
  • Remember He listens to his children.


3.

Heavenly Father,
We are stopped by you.
We thank you for Your Son.
Only through Him are we with You.
Only through Him.
Thank You Jesus.
In Your name
we pray
Amen.


4.

Thank you for leaving your initials and a comment.
This is another tough passage.
Please share what God gives you.

May we gain momentum in moving through His word daily.
I am praying for you.
Love having you here.


And I will be back here tomorrow,
I hope I will see you here too.
~Robyn
