Jeremiah 25:4 And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention

Jeremiah was speaking to the people of Judah in the fourth year of the reign of the wicked King Jehoiakim. He had warned them for twenty-three years of coming destruction if they didn’t repent.

Nebuchadnezzar was just beginning his rule in Babylon. God knew about this Babylonian king years before he came into power. God gave his people a fair warning—twenty-three years. God is loving but will not tolerate wickedness forever.

The Jews worshipped idols and sacrificed their children to the false god Molech. They continued their evil practices rather than choosing to serve the living God.

Jeremiah continued to warn them of impending destruction even though he was beaten and imprisoned several times during his ministry.

God’s Laws are the same for us today. Are we listening to His Word or ignoring it? Are we praying for our nation to repent to avoid disaster?

Prayer Suggestion: Help us Lord, to listen to Your Word to avoid disaster in our lives.
