Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Jeremiah Chapter 34.  
Verses 1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in a palace.
Verses 8-22 A Jew should not be held in servitude above seven years. This law they and their fathers had broken. And when there was some hope that the siege was raised, they forced the servants they had released into their services again. Those who think to cheat God by dissembled repentance and partial reformation, put the greatest cheat upon their own souls. This shows that liberty to sin, is really only liberty to have the sorest judgments. It is just with God to disappoint expectations of mercy, when we disappoint the expectations of duty. And when reformation springs only from terror, it is seldom lasting. Solemn vows thus entered into, profane the ordinances of God; and the most forward to bind themselves by appeals to God, are commonly most ready to break them. Let us look to our hearts, that our repentance may be real, and take care that the law of God regulates our conduct.”  -  Matthew Henry Concise  “22 Behold, I will command, declares the Lord, and will bring them back to this city. And they will fight against it and take it and burn it with fire.  I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.”Jeremiah 34:22 English Standard Versions (ESV).  Every verse we read today screams of God’s glory, love and mercy (see Peter 1:20-25 ) he never turns away a person with a repentant, loving and contrite heart.  “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.“  Matthew 7:13-14 ESV.  Our God is righteous; Jesus is a perfect man without sin (see 1 Peter 1:18-20) there is no other one fit to impart righteousness to us.  I’ve heard people saying if God really loves us (see 1 Corinthians 1:18) why does he allow … or he wouldn’t allow people to suffer.  God gives us the freedom to see and evaluate all of the possibilities for ourselves (see 2 Corinthians 4:3) so we can see if we want to live in bondage to sin or not.  While those who are perishing (see 1 Corinthians 1:18) are blinded to the truth.  We are ambassadors for Christ, we are the light of the world and (see Matthew 5:14-16) Jesus has put us here so those who are lost might see God’s love.  If we imitate Jesus as we carry the Word we will never (see john 8:12) walk in darkness.  Basing what we know for sure about God’s love for the people in the world (see john 3:16) we know how important it is to season all we do with (see 1 Corinthians 13:1-3) LOVE.   We understand (see 1 Corinthians 13:4-7) what love is and what love is not.  Therefor we as ambassadors for Jesus will continue sharing God’s Love until (see 1 Corinthians 13:8) love ends.
