The
judgment of God is upon those who set themselves against Him. This is
the message which emerges from Jeremiah’s preaching regarding Egypt.
The Lord sets Himself against those who teach false doctrine which
“does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to
godly teaching” (1 Timothy 6:3).
The contrast between “the arrogant” and the godly is clear - “May the
arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause, but I will
meditate on Your precepts” (Psalm 119:78).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
