Morning Light - Jeremiah 42

Today: [Jeremiah 42] So … You Want Go Back to Egypt? In this chapter, the captains of the forces remaining in Judah after the fall of Jerusalem petition Jeremiah for a word from the Lord. Jeremiah waits 10 days before the Lord until he returns to them giving a warning not to go back into Egypt lest they die by the sword. This was not what they wanted to hear from Jeremiah. Did you ever hear something from God that was not what you had in mind? The reaction of these men and Jeremiah’s faithfulness to obey God are an example to us all regarding how to and how not to respond to the voice of God in our lives.
