The king didn’t care much for Jeremiah or for the word from God that Jeremiah presented to him. In fact, he showed so much disdain for this word that after reading a page, he cut it out of the scroll and used it to keep his fire burning. How offensive can you be? How could he?
Yet, are we so different in our handling of God’s Word? Picking and choosing the verses we want to apply, use, listen, and accept. Ignoring some. Twisting others. Do we take it all to heart? Or do we cut corners, maybe even pages, off the Word of God?
God will not let his Word be silenced or destroyed. The cry rings out: The Word of the Lord endures forever. And we need to hear it. We need to receive it. We need it to change and transform us.
On Sunday, this will be our prayer: Lord, help us as we read, learn, and take your Word to heart.
We are his! Pastor Nate
