750.

Judah Threatened with Invasion

1.

Today's Passage: Jeremiah 4:1-18


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).


2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

29th Strategy.
Called to Evaluate Our Choices



  • Enter your time with the LORD in prayer.
  • Read the entire passage.
  • Does the passage call for an evaluation of choices made? If so, stop and re-read that section one time.
  • Continue through the entire passage.
  • After reading the passage through one time, go back and re-read the section calling for an evaluation.
  • Would the choices you are facing in your life today be similar to the choices in the passage.
  • Write them down on a sticky note, or underline them in your bible.
  • Whatever you are being prompted to evaluate, write it down. (This will be a great source of strength for years to come.)
  • Take these choices to the LORD. Ask Him to give you clarity on how to move forward.
  • Tell Him you desire to make wise choices and you know you need His guidance.
  • Ask God to broaden your vision for the passage.
  • Thank Him for His guidance and praise Him for His words.
  • (I encourage you to write down what God shows you.)


1. "O Israel," says the LORD, "if you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more.
2. Then when you swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the LORD lives,' you could do so with truth, justice and righteousness. Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world, and all people would come and praise my name."

3. This is what the LORD says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:

"Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns.
4. O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the LORD, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.

5." Shout to Judah, and broadcast to Jerusalem! Tell them to sound the alarm throughout the land: 'Run for your lives! Flee to the fortified cities!'
6. Raise a signal flag as a warning for Jerusalem: 'Flee now! Do not delay!' For I am bringing terrible destruction upon you from the north."
7. A lion stalks from its den, a destroyer of nations. It has left its lair and is headed your way. It's going to devastate your land! Your towns will lie in ruins, with no one living in them anymore.
8. So put on clothes of mourning and weep with broken hearts, for the fierce anger of the LORD is still upon us.

9. "In that day," says the LORD, "the king and the officials will tremble in fear. The priests will be struck with horror, and the prophets will be appalled."

10. Then I said, "O Sovereign LORD, the people have been deceived by what you said, for you promised peace for Jerusalem. But the sword is held at their throats!"
11. The time is coming when the LORD will say to the people of Jerusalem, "My dear people, a burning wind is blowing in from the desert, and it's not a gentle breeze useful for winnowing grain.
12. It is a roaring blast sent by me! Now I will pronounce your destruction!"

13. Our enemy rushes down on us like storm clouds! His chariots are like whirlwinds His horses are swifter than eagles. How terrible it will be, for we are doomed!
14. O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart that you may be saved. How long will you harbor your evil thoughts!
15. Your destruction has been announced from Dan and the hill country of Ephraim.

16. "Warn the surrounding nations and announce this to Jerusalem; The enemy is coming from a distant land, raising a battle cry against the towns of Judah.
17. They surround Jerusalem like watchmen around a field, for my people have rebelled against me," says the LORD.
18. "Your own actions have brought this upon you. This punishment is bitter, piercing you to the heart!"
Jeremiah 4:1-18 NLT

The first paragraphs of this chapter I am writing out as a prayer for the USA and putting it in my prayer journal to pray daily.

The rest of the chapter is my fear for our country if it continues down the path of murder and debauchery.

Here are the words I pray:
1. "O Israel," says the LORD, "if you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more.
2. Then when you swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the LORD lives,' you could do so with truth, justice and righteousness. Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world, and all people would come and praise my name."

3. This is what the LORD says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:

"Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns.
4. O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the LORD, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.

Amen.

I too fear for our country; the moral decay that is continuing must be stopped at some point. .....or God will stop it himself.
