Father God, these are hard lessons. The price Israel and Judah paid for their disobedience, their transgressions, for turning away from You, are painful to read. Yet, we know You sent messengers, Your prophets to warn them so that they could turn from their ways and return into covenant relationship with You. And we are grateful, Father, for the new and better covenant that we have through Jesus. Thankful that we are saved by grace and not by our own efforts to keep the 613 commandments of Jewish law. Help us to remain faithful to You, Father, not putting anyone or anything above You. Help us to love You with all our heart, with all our mind and with all our soul. Amen.

Help us to apply Your Word to our daily lives and circumstances. so that we aren't just hearers of the Word, but doers also. Thank You, Father. Amen

Father God, in the prophecies of Jeremiah, we see how you are able to use the nations, even those in positions of power who do not know You, to bring about Your plan. Your Word has gone out, and it cannot be thwarted and will not return to You void. Yet, You were willing to even show them mercy, but they lifted themselves up in their pride, and magnified themselves against you. Father, heal us of our pride and arrogance of heart. If we boast in anything, let it be in You. Amen

Father God, thank You for Your Word, even when it's hard, Father, we know it's given for our instruction and our correction. So, we take these words of Jeremiah and apply them to our lives. How many times do we come to You Father, seeking an answer, but seeking the answer we want to hear, not necessarily the answer You give. Help us, Father, to listen and to obey and to follow Your ways and not our own. Help us to remain humble, Father, and not seek great things for ourselves, but to give You all the glory forever. Amen

Father God, thank You for Your Word and for the word of Your prophets. Before Cyrus even was, Jeremiah prophesied about him by name. Yet, Your people didn't listen to the prophets. The world hasn't changed. Your people are still mocked when they speak Your word. Like the Psalmists, we could ask "How long, Lord?" But we know that it is not Your will that anyone should perish, but that all people be reconciled to You. Help us to be as courageous as the prophets of old, and to speak Your Word boldly, Father, so that those who hear might be brought back into right relationship with You. Amen

Father God, thank You for Your Word. We can learn so much from the past if we open our ears and our hearts and truly hear. These arent just ancient accounts, they are lessons.

Help us to seek out wise counsel, and not just listen to teachings that say what we want to hear. And help us, Father, to obey. Your Words bring life when they are followed. Help us to follow them faithfully. Amen

Father God, help us to recognize, there is a consequence for our actions. There is a consequence for our disobedience. You have given us great and precious promises, and there is a condition: that we seek You and follow You and obey Your Word. But You are merciful, Father. And even when we fail, You have already made provision for us. All we have to do is repent and turn back to You. You have made an everlasting covenant with us, for our good, and for the good of our children after us. Thank You for Your everlasting love and mercy. Amen.
