Today's Reading is Jeremiah 40, Psalms 91.1-6
Jeremiah 40
Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard freed Jeremiah. he told him that God's purpose has been acomplished for Jerusalem and he was free to go and he gave him provisions and a present! Nebuzaradan told Jeremiah ro stay with Gedaliah.
Gedaliah was assassinated (Jeremiah 40.7-9; 41.1-3; 2 Kings 25.22-26)
Jeremiah went to stay with Gedaliah. Gedaliah was made governor over the remnant of Jews left in Judah. He told them to carry on with their lives as usual and obey Nebuchadnezzar as possible. Gedaliah did not believe Johanan when he said that Baalis had sent Ismael to kill him.
Application:
God had let a heathen commander in chief realize His purpose. How ironical for the people of Judah who could not see the whole picture. God had provided all of Jeremiah needs during the captivity.
Verses to meditate on:
2 When the commander of the guard found Jeremiah, he said to him, "The LORD your God decreed this disaster for this place. 3 And now the LORD has brought it about; he has done just as he said he would. All this happened because you people sinned against the LORD and did not obey him. 4 But today I am freeing you from the chains on your wrists. Come with me to Babylon, if you like, and I will look after you; but if you do not want to, then don't come. Look, the whole country lies before you; go wherever you please."
