Today’s Feast
June 9, 2014- Jeremiah 34
Zedekiah to Die in Babylon
Please join us sharing God’s
Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and
reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three year. Gods Not Dead!
“6 Be strong and courageous. Do
not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with
you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."” Deuteronomy
31:6
Jeremiah Chapter 34; “Zedekiah's
death at Babylon foretold. (1-7) The Jews reproved for compelling their poor brethren to
return to unlawful bondage. (8-22)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
“Verses
1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall
die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die
penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in a palace.
Verses
8-22 A Jew should not be held in servitude above seven years. This
law they and their fathers had broken. And when there was some hope that the
siege was raised, they forced the servants they had released into their
services again. Those who think to cheat God by dissembled repentance and
partial reformation, put the greatest cheat upon their own souls. This shows
that liberty to sin, is really only liberty to have the sorest judgments. It
is just with God to disappoint expectations of mercy, when we disappoint the
expectations of duty. And when reformation springs only from terror, it is
seldom lasting. Solemn vows thus entered into, profane the ordinances of God;
and the most forward to bind themselves by appeals to God, are commonly most
ready to break them. Let us look to our hearts, that our repentance may be
real, and take care that the law of God regulates our conduct.” - Matthew
Henry Concise “22 Behold, I
will command, declares the Lord, and will bring them back to this
city. And they will fight against it and take it and burn it with fire.
I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.”” Jeremiah 34:22
English Standard Versions (ESV). Every
verse we read today screams of God’s glory, love and mercy (see Peter 1:20-25 ) he never turns away a person
with a repentant, loving and contrite heart. “Enter by the
narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to
destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and
the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.“ Matthew 7:13-14 ESV. Our God is righteous; Jesus is a perfect man
without sin (see 1
Peter 1:18-20) there is no other one fit to impart righteousness
to us. I’ve heard people saying if God
really loves us (see 1 Corinthians
1:18) why does he allow … or he wouldn’t allow people to suffer. God gives us the freedom to see and evaluate
all of the possibilities for ourselves (see 2 Corinthians
4:3) so we can see if we want to live in bondage to sin or not. While those who are perishing (see
1
Corinthians 1:18) are blinded to the truth. We are ambassadors for Christ, we are the
light of the world and (see Matthew
5:14-16) Jesus has put us here so those who are lost might see God’s
love. If we imitate Jesus as we carry
the Word we will never (see john
8:12) walk in darkness. Basing
what we know for sure about God’s love for the people in the world (see
john 3:16) we
know how important it is to season all we do with (see 1
Corinthians 13:1-3) LOVE. We
understand (see 1
Corinthians 13:4-7) what love is and what love is not. Therefor we as ambassadors for Jesus will
continue sharing God’s Love until (see 1 Corinthians
13:8) love ends.
Is Jesus calling? Do you want to be free from sorrow? Do you want to find true happiness, peace
and purpose in your life? If the
answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm
