Jeremiah 6 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Jeremiah 6.

Meditate on and memorize this phrase from verse 15.

They were not even ashamed at all;

they did not even know how to blush.

God was preparing war and great destruction against Jerusalem for refusing to listen to Him and walk in His ways.  The LORD condemned the people for their abominations.  Some of His indictments in Jeremiah 6 included:

            *They kept their wickedness fresh (v. 7).

            *Everyone dealt falsely (v. 13).

            *They had no shame (v. 15).

            *They did not even know how to blush (v. 15).

            *They refused to walk in the good path (v. 16).

            *They refused to listen to God’s Words (v. 19).

            *They were stubbornly rebellious (v. 28).

*There were preachers among the people who superficially healed their brokenness instead of teaching the truths of God and how to walk with Him in holiness (13-14).

God appointed Jeremiah to examine and test the ways of the people (Jeremiah 6:27).  He was God’s messenger of truth for the people of Judah.  His sermons were not superficial; they were God’s Words that could truly heal brokenness, if the people would listen to what God said. 

God’s Words spoken 2600 years ago are still fresh today.  They are living waters to refresh your soul.  Be a Jeremiah and examine your life and the lives of those you love.  Is there fresh wickedness in your life or in the life of someone you love?  Does “stubbornly rebellious” describe you or people you know?  Do you still blush?  Hear and heed the Word of the LORD and pray it over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

Pray Jeremiah 6:16.

“LORD, _________ and I are standing by the ways,

looking and asking for the ancient paths where Your good way is. 

We want to walk in it.  As we do, let us find rest for our souls.

In Your name, Jesus~”
