Please read Jeremiah 52.

Meditate on verse 2a.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD…

Jeremiah is a book about hearing and heeding the Word of the LORD. Preacher Jeremiah faithfully spoke God’s Word for 53 years. Some people listened, like Daniel. He was a young boy growing up in Jerusalem when Jeremiah was delivering messages from the LORD. Daniel heeded God’s Word and made up his mind not to defile himself (Daniel 1:8). Even though he was exiled to Babylon, God protected Daniel. He lived to be at least 80 years old and spent his life pleasing the LORD.

King Zedekiah heard God’s Word preached as well, but he chose to disobey the LORD (Jeremiah 34). Jeremiah 52 records the end of his life. The Babylonians took Zedekiah and his family captive when he was 32 years old. His young children were slaughtered before his eyes, and his eyes were blinded, so the last thing he saw was his children being killed. He died in a Babylonian prison.

As you read the Words of the LORD in Jeremiah, what did God say to you, and will you heed what you heard?

Pray not to do and experience Jeremiah 52:2-3.  Pray it over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let ______ and me not do evil in your sight

like Zedekiah and Jehoiakim did.

We do not want to experience Your anger

 or be cast from Your presence.

In Your name, Jesus~
