‘Is There Any Word From The Lord?’

Jeremiah 37:1-21
‘Is there any Word from the Lord?’- ‘Yes! There is a Word from the Lord’. The Word from the Lord wasn’t exactly what the king wanted to hear - ‘You will be handed over to the king of Babylon’(17). God was going to bless His people - but they would have to be patient: Things were going to get an awful lot worse before they would get much better! Before their restoration - “I will bring them back and restore them to this place’- , God’s people faced captivity - ‘They will be taken to Babylon’. There was bad news - a captivity of ‘seventy years’. There was good news - the captivity wouldn’t last forever (27:22; 29:10-11)! God speaks of His blessing - ‘It will certainly come’- , but He also says, ‘Wait for it’(Habakkuk 2:3). Let’s listen to all that He says to us - and not ‘only hear what we want to hear’!
