Jeremiah 39
Inspired thots
Great chaos and riots surrounded Israel as God's word came to pass with the invasion of king Nebuchadrezzar. But one amazing happening is that the king was intent to inflict pain and suffering upon king Zedekiah who disobeyed God's word of warning.
BUT king Nebuchadrezzar commanded that Jeremiah be treated well and allowed to live in the land among those who were allowed to remain. King Nebuchadrezzar commanded the captain of the guard to look after Jeremiah well and do him no harm, but deal with Jeremiah as Jeremiah tells him to. (v11). What a strange command by the enemy! Did king Nebuchadrezzar fear God? Did he hear about Jeremiah and his ministry?
We may never know until we meet up in heaven but one thing is for sure; God can use ANYONE who is willing and available to work out His will to His glory. This twist of event is an eye opener that an enemy is a vessel of the Lord to work out His purposes.
And God remembered the godly Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian who trusted in Him. A stranger living in a foreign land who fears God will not be in danger.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
