Judgment Against Wicked Kings

1 This is what the Lord says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there: 2 ‘Hear the word of the Lord to you, king of Judah, you who sit on David’s throne—you, your officials and your people who come through these gates. 3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”

6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:

“Though you are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, I will surely make you like a wasteland, like towns not inhabited. 7 I will send destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut up your fine cedar beams and throw them into the fire.

8 “People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?’ 9 And the answer will be: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”

10 Do not weep for the dead king or mourn his loss; rather, weep bitterly for him who is exiled, because he will never return nor see his native land again.

11 For this is what the Lord says about Shallum son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: “He will never return. 12 He will die in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again.”

13 “Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his own people work for nothing, not paying them for their labor. 14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace with spacious upper rooms.’ So he makes large windows in it, panels it with cedar and decorates it in red.

15 “Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He did what was right and just, so all went well with him. 16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the Lord. 17 “But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion.”

18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:

“They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’ 19 He will have the burial of a donkey— dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out, let your voice be heard in Bashan, cry out from Abarim, for all your allies are crushed. 21 I warned you when you felt secure, but you said, ‘I will not listen!’ This has been your way from your youth; you have not obeyed me. 22 The wind will drive all your shepherds away, and your allies will go into exile. Then you will be ashamed and disgraced because of all your wickedness. 23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,’ who are nestled in cedar buildings, how you will groan when pangs come upon you, pain like that of a woman in labor!

24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians. 26 I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to.”

28 Is this man Jehoiachin a despised, broken pot, an object no one wants? Why will he and his children be hurled out, cast into a land they do not know? 29 O land, land, land, hear the word of the Lord! 30 This is what the Lord says: “Record this man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah.” — Jeremiah 22 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

JEREMIAH S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 22

Wednesday, 6/19/24

SCRIPTURE:

"Many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why did the Lord do such a thing to this great city?’  "They will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God and bowed in worship to other gods and served them.’" ~ Jeremiah 22:8-9

OBSERVATION:

There are consequences for my actions...

...and inactions...

...and words...

Will others see my "abandonment" of His covenant with me?

...that I have bowed and worshiped and served the other god of self?

...of willfulness?

He hasn't abandoned me... He sent Jesus for me...

...even though (or because?) He sees and knows...

...and He is Who matters above all...

...including - especially myself...

APPLICATION:

Remember and hold His covenant with me - Jesus!

Bow in worship to Him...

Serve Him...

PRAYER:

Almighty Father God - I am thankful beyond words for Your forgiving nature and grace shown through Jesus... May I remember and hold His sacrifice close, to bow in worship to You alone, and, in His example, serve You in all I do... In His Name, and for Your glory in all things...

For Him... for you... for y'all's...

Jeremiah 3:22 (NLT) - “My wayward children,” says the LORD, “come back to Me, and I will heal your wayward hearts.”

“Yes, we’re coming,” the people reply, “for You are the LORD our God.

not enough people recognize how many similarities there are between gotham (the 2014 show) and NBC hannibal

the weird little philosophical talks about murder, the on screen gore that makes you wonder how this show ever aired on live cable, weird fucking killers that have hyper specific niches that that make into their entire personality, lovers shooting/stabbing eachother, blatantly corrupt cops, wild ass plotlines that make you wonder what the fuck the writers were on, being completely unable to see some scenes because of how visually dark they are, just the general vibes of the show sometimes,

i love them both so much

Jesus is Coming

Some years ago I was walking around the reception tables after a wedding I had performed. An older woman approached me with a question. Almost everyone present at this particular wedding had come from a high church liturgical tradition. In their tradition, they had sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly recited either the Apostle’s Creed or the Athanasian Creed. But apparently, she hadn’t been…

I wonder if OP realizes just how close they were to what the Bible says.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:10

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:8

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 1 John 2:9

Here's the clincher:

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 1 John 2:29

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 ("Kindness" may not be on the list, but there's several fruits of the Spirit that fill the same role.)

It's not about an "attempt." Altruism can ONLY come from God. Any kindness man tries to do on his own is still selfish. How many "kind" people do acts of kindness only because it makes them feel good?

Jesus didn't feel good about going to the cross- in fact, he was so torn up about it that he literally sweat blood- but He did it anyway, out of: a) devotion and obedience to His Father; and b) love for us. Sometimes love and obedience feel like pain and sorrow and fear and death. But if you love Jesus and The Father and have the Holy Spirit inside you, you'll do it anyway, because you can't not do it.

this has been said before but I feel like it is very important to view being kind as something you do rather than something that you are because all people have the capacity for meanness and cruelty and often use it inadvertently but the point is to change your behavior and your attitude and practice paying attention and being selfless and sincere and vulnerable and putting kindness and warmth into your actions and words instead of being like oh I value kindness and thus I am such a good person. like it’s about the attempt

Jeremiah 14:22 (NKJV) - Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are You not He, O LORD God? Therefore we will wait for You, Since You have made all these.
