Jeremiah 25 - Praying God's Word

Please read Jeremiah 25.

Meditate on verse 30b.

The LORD will roar from on high and utter His voice from His holy habitation;

 He will roar mightily against His fold. 

He will shout like those who tread the grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

At this point in Jeremiah’s ministry, he had preached the Word of the LORD for 23 years. The people refused to listen and obey God. It was 605 BC, and the first wave of exiles was taken captive to Babylon. God’s judgment had arrived.

The LORD also had Jeremiah preach to all the nations. God used calamity to punish Jerusalem; the other inhabitants of the earth would not be free from God’s punishment for disobedience. Jeremiah’s sermon illustration was a cup of the wine of the wrath of God, which all the inhabitants on earth will be forced to drink if they do not hear and heed the Word of the LORD (vs. 15-29; Revelation 19:15).

When God says He will roar “against all the inhabitants of the earth,” He is not jesting (v. 30). In light of current world events, pray Jeremiah 25:5-6 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, may ___________ and I turn from our evil way

 and from the evil of our deeds. 

We want to dwell with You in Your land forever and ever. 

We will stop going after other gods to serve and worship them.

 We do not want to provoke You to anger with the work of our hands. 

LORD, do not do us harm.

Because of Your salvation, Jesus~”
