How would you feel? Jeremiah 36

Good afternoon and may the LORD bless you.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!  Jesu Jevu!

    Take a gander at Jeremiah 36, read the whole chapter.  Now, put your self in the place of Jeremiah or Baruch.  First, you were given words by God to deliver. Second, you delivered them and read them.   Third, some feared the words spoken and given by God. Fourth, Jeremiah and Baruch were told to go hide.  Fifth, the secretary took the scroll and gave to the king's court to read.  Sixth, as each section was read the king cut the scroll and cast the words into the fire.  Seventh, none in the kings court or king showed any fear.

  Eighth, the king ordered the prophet, Jeremiah, and his scribe Baruch to be arrested.  Ninth, the LORD had hid them.  Tenth, the words were once again given to Jeremiah to dictate to Baruch to take down.  Baruch wrote the words again, and you will see at the end of Jeremiah "words were added."

   You will notice the punishment that is about to beset upon the king and his land.

If you had written all this down, in long hand, on a scroll, as done long ago would you not be angry that the king burned them.  I would.  However, the LORD knows all and any punishment I could give the LORD can give greater.  So it was.  Very interesting.  Please read the chapter and absorb what is being said, and the difference between obedience and flat denial and disobedience (the king).

Love you all.
