Today's Reading is Jeremiah 37; Psalm 89.46-52
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 37

Jeremiah 37
Zedekiah had asked Jeremiah to pray to God for them. The word of the Lord came to jeremiah and said that Egypt which was supposed to help Zedekiah had gone back to Egypt and the Babylonians will come and invade Judah. He warned them not to deceive themselves in thinking that they would never be invaded by Babylon. They would not escape from the Babylonians.
Jeremiah left the city for a real estate transaction when the captain of the guard arrested him on the charge of desertion. Jeremiah tried to expllain to them but they would not listen, so they had him beaten and thrown in prison.

Application: Even when you tell the truth and stand up for the truth, the unbeliever (and even believers) will not believe. The best thing to do in this situation is stand up suffer for righteousness rather than for doing wroing.

Verses to meditate: 18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land'?

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 12, Psalm 80.1-6

Jeremiah 12
Jeremiah complains to God. v. 1-4. He asked the eternal question, 'Why does the way of the wicked prosper?' We are like Jeremiah at times. We complain when things get tough.

God is very patient and answers him. Does this sound like Job? God is very patient and wants men to come and repent, he is giving them time, even the wicked!!

Verse to meditate on:
1 You are always righteous, O LORD,
when I bring a case before you.
Yet I would speak with you about your justice:
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the faithless live at ease?
2 You have planted them, and they have taken root;
they grow and bear fruit.
You are always on their lips
but far from their hearts.

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 11, Psalms 79.11-13
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 11 Psalms 77

Jeremiah 11
This section covers the Covenant which is broken (11.1-17) and the Plot against Jeremiah (v. 18-21)

Because of the people's violation of the covenant, they would be punished by the Babylonians, they would be exiled to Babylon. This section probably belong to the period after King Josiah's reformation (2 Kings 23), when the people went back to restoring and worshiping idols. Because of Jeremiah's rebuke, the people decided to kill him. Jeremiah did not give up on preaching to the people, even though he complained!

Verses to meditate on:
20 But, O LORD Almighty, you who judge righteously
and test the heart and mind,
let me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you I have committed my cause.


Jeremiah did not seek revenge on the people who tried to kill him, rather he trusted God to take care of the situation.

Verse to meditate on:

23I know, LORD, that a person's life is not his own. No one is able to plan his own course. 24So correct me, LORD, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die. 25Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to recognize you--on nations that do not call upon your name. For they have utterly devoured your people Israel,[c] making the land a desolate wilderness.

Psalm 79.5-10
God is a God of love, let us not forget that but He is a God of Judgment. Can we pray that God would judge the nations that will not acknowledge Him?
