Jeremiah 44:15-45:5
‘Egypt’ was to
be a place of punishment. Lord, You speak to those who remain in the
the place of rebellion. You say to them, ‘I will punish you in this
place.’This is Your Word of warning. We don’t need to remain in the
place of rebellion and punishment. We can ‘return’ to ‘Judah’, the place
of obedience and blessing (Jeremiah 44:28-29). This is not about places
we will find on a map of the world. It’s a call to look into the secret
places of our hearts. Teach us, Lord, to search our hearts. What will
You find when You look into our hearts? Will You find rebellion? Will
You find obedience? You want us to leave the place of rebellion and
punishment. You want us to return to the place of obedience and
blessing. ‘Search me, O God, and know my heart!... See if there be any
wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!’ (Psalm
139:23-24).
