Today's Reading is Jeremiah 38, Psalms 90.1-6
Jeremiah 38
jeremiah kept on preaching that Judah would be destroyed by the Babylonians. The people could not stand it anymore, they came to Zedekiah and Zedekiah said he would not stop them from killing Jeremiah. Jeremiah was thrown into a cistern. But Ebed-Melech, a Cushite, came to Jeremiah's rescue and appeal to the king for help.
Zedekiah spoke to Jeremiah again, and Jeremiah told him to surrender to the Babylonians.
Application:
Sin has its consequence. Whatever is sown will be reaped. There is mercy shown before the actual punishment. Mercy precedes judgement. Zedekiah's life was spared Jehoiakim ignored God's warning and burnt the scroll. He reaped what he sowed.
Verses to meditate on:
20 "They will not hand you over," Jeremiah replied. "Obey the LORD by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared. 21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the LORD has revealed to me:

Jeremiah 38 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 88, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 88.1-18 is a psalm of the sons of Korah. It is a cry from the depth of his soul! He is crying desperately to God to save him. He is appealing to God to save him before he goes into ‘the land of oblivion’ (v. 9-12) In verse 13-14 he conclude his prayer. In verse 15-18 the psalmists claimed that he had suffered God’s wrath. This sounds a lot like Job when he complains to God. Sometimes when we cry to God, He does not seem to answer, He is in the shadows waiting for us and still protecting even though He is silent. Have you ever experience the Silence of God?
