Life
was not easy for the prophet Jeremiah. The king and his attendants did
not pay “any attention to the words the Lord had spoken through
Jeremiah the prophet” (Jeremiah 37:1-2). We must pray for “kings and all those in authority” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
They have so much power to do good or evil. As we consider the
nation’s life, we must affirm, with the Psalmist, “I remember Your
ancient laws, O Lord, and I find comfort in them” (Psalm 119:52).
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).
