Jeremiah chapter 43 verse 4.

So Johannan, the son of Korea,

and all the commanders of the forces and all the people did not obey the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.

God had said,

Do not take to Egypt

captives that have been rescued.

God spoke it so clearly.

And so what did the people do?

They took to Egypt, the captives they had rescued,

even took some of the people who had returned from exile, they went directly

against God's word.

And so when we read, Jeremiah 43.4, I think we're encouraged to examine our lives.

My life, your life.

Is there any area right now where you are directly

disobeying God's word?

Either doing? word, either doing that which God's word says not to do, or not doing that which God's word has said clearly to do.

I would just encourage you in this moment,

examine your heart, where is there a lack of obedience in you?

Where is confession of sin needed?

It's frightening how easily, if we're not careful we can go on with our lives just day to day.

Even reading the Bible or listening to a podcast like this or praying and not stop and examine our hearts
