Scripture:
“Jeremiah replied, “You won’t be handed over to them if you choose to obey the Lord. Your life will be spared, and all will go well for you.”
Jeremiah 38:20 NLT
Observation:
Jeremiah speaks here and tells King Zedekiah that if he obeys the Lord, his life will be spared from the Babylonians and all will go well for him. The Babylonians were coming and God was punishing His people, but even in the midst of God’s punishment, we see Him telling the king that if he would follow the Lord, his life would’ve spared and things would go well for him.
Application:
Doing God’s will is paramount in our lives as believers. We must give ourselves completely to His will in our lives. When we do, we can expect that things will go well for us and we will prosper as He chooses to prosper us. God does defend those who humble themselves before Him. He takes care of those who submit completely to Him.
Prayer:
Lord, teach me to follow You wholeheartedly. Help me to listen to Your voice and hear the prophetic word like Jeremiah. Let my ears be open and my heart be ready to submit to You and do Your will in the earth. I am Yours. Work in my life. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done.
Your Son,
Jeff
