“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. You shall not escape from his hand but shall surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You shall see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face. And you shall go to Babylon.’” (Jeremiah 34:2-3)
Letting the king know he will be exiled must have been a challenging thing to do. But Jeremiah did it.
What are the challenging things God asks me to do? I don’t believe any of them is as unnerving as telling the king bad news. Why can’t I be as bold as Jeremiah? Why is the fear of man so strong in my heart?
Father, please help me to see and be empowered by your greatness. Amen.
