Jeremiah 29:29 Zephaniah the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet.
I have a confession. There are many verses in the Bible that I don’t 100% understand. The verses in Jeremiah 24-32 are among them. But I get the gist. Don’t be a false prophet. Don’t Lie about God’s word. Don’t preach rebellion against God. I am confident in my ability not to do those things.
Jeremiah 29:30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
But what can I do? Share God’s hope. Share God’s goodness. Share God’s presence in my life, in my day, in my past. Lift and encourage others. Share scripture I do understand that has made a difference to me. I can do those things.
Jeremiah 29:31 “Send this message to all the exiles: ‘This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies,
Precious Savior, Thank You that even when I don’t fully understand Your words, I am able to extrapolate lessons that I can use in my life. Thank You that every time I visit Your word, I understand it a bit better. Thank You that I can put Your light and Your love into the world to uplift and encourage Your people. Amen.
Jeremiah 29:32 this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion against me.’ ”
Have a blessed day.
