August 25, 2019: SOAP #3552:  Jeremiah 37-39; Psalm 79; 2John

Scripture:  Jeremiah (NIV) 37:1 Zedekiah son of Josiah was made king of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. 2 Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention to the words the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.

Observation:   It was not that God had not spoken to them; it was that they paid no attention to what He said.  The problem was not that God had nothing to say, the problem was that they did not consider His word important enough to obey.

Application:  When I feel that God is not speaking to me, I need to check back and see how I responded the last time God spoke to me.  I may need to follow through with what He has already told me before asking Him to speak to me again.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, your word is so important.  What an amazing privilege to have you speak to me.  I want my response to your word to show how I value you and your word.  Amen
