Jeremiah 39-41

When the commander of the guard found Jeremiah, he said to him, "The LORD your God decreed this disaster for this place. And now the LORD has brought it about; he has done just as he said he would. All this happened because your people sinned against the LORD and did not obey him."

Finally, God's judgment came upon the Israelites. In Chapter 39, the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem. This confession from the commander of Babylon is amazing. It demonstrates his faith in God. Not sure if he believed in God or not, yet he trusted in God's word more than the Israelites. He recognized God's sovereignty.

So this made me to examine my own faith in the word of God. Because I've been attending church all my life, I think I've grown indifferent toward God's word. Yes, I do believe in Jesus and the bible, yet sometimes I don't take God's word so personally. Actually, I've been praying for miracles to happen in my life. The bible records so many miracles. And I want to experience that in my life. I think often I do not expect God to show up.

Let us remember that God's word is truly living and active and put our faith in all of his promises. Nothing is impossible with God.
