Who is God like?
Verse 1- Jehoiakim was the one to record the words in the fourth year. This was also the year that the king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar ascended to the throne (25:1). God was setting up a chance to repent and a means to judge at the same time. What will you choose?
Verses 2, 3- He allows them to record the words that came since the time of Josiah and have a chance to get forgiveness for their sins. The words probably deal more with judgment (38:2. 3). When we meditate on the book of Jeremiah let us think about the warnings that God has brought down on us and on our church. Do you hear the word but quickly forget it?
What lesson is God teaching me?
Verses 4-8- Jeremiah, who was confined, gave the words of God to Baruch and had him record them and read them aloud to him. They, like God, wanted the people to repent and leave the road of evil. Even though the people did not want to hear it, they boldly gave the words of judgment and calamity. Are you doing your work without being conscious of the reaction of the people and only hoping to make the will of God come true?
Verses 9-19- In the time of King Josiah, in the room of the son of Shaphan the secretary, Shaphan’s grandson listened to the words of Baruch. To the secretaries and officials who were angry with the reforms of Josiah he delivered the message and they personally called Baruch, listened to his words and were surprised. Before they reported to the king they helped Jeremiah and Baruch to secretly escape. How do you react to the words of judgment?
Lord, thank you for giving us the words that you personally recorded. I will leave the sin of _______________ that I always commit.
