Jeremiah 6 - Praying God's Word

Please read Jeremiah 6.

Meditate on this phrase from verse 15.

They were not even ashamed at all;

they did not even know how to blush.

God prepared war and great destruction against Jerusalem for refusing to walk in His ways. The LORD condemned the people for their abominations. Some of His indictments 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 healed their brokenness superficially instead of teaching how to walk with God deeply, in holiness (13-14). God appointed Jeremiah as His messenger of truth. His sermons were not superficial; they were God’s Words that truly heal brokenness.

God’s Words spoken 2,600 years ago are still fresh today. Examine your life by His Word. Does “stubbornly rebellious” describe you? Is there fresh wickedness in your family? Hear and heed God’s Word, 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~”
