| 0:04.2 | Jeremiah, chapter 40, verses 2 and 3. The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, |
| 0:10.9 | the Lord your God pronounced this disaster against this place. The Lord has brought it about and |
| 0:17.2 | has done, as he said. Now, the context here in Jeremiah is Babylon has destroyed Jerusalem, |
| 0:25.3 | is taking the people of God into exile. And here, this captain of the guard takes Jeremiah, |
| 0:32.2 | who had been prophesying this all along, had been proclaiming that this would happen as a result |
| 0:38.0 | of God's people's rebellion and sin against him. The captain of the guard says to him, |
| 0:43.4 | the Lord your God pronounced this disaster against this place. The Lord has brought it about |
| 0:50.2 | and has done as he said. And there's a lot we could talk about here. It's specifically in the |
| 0:56.0 | context of Jeremiah, but what I want to point out very simply that we see all over the Bible |

| 1:37.2 | even this world, as we know it, will not be as it is now in the days to come, but God's Word |
| 1:44.4 | will stand forever, which means God's Word is worthy of your trust. And it means that the |
| 1:50.5 | wise way to live is to build your life on God's Word, to rise in the morning, to read His Word, |
| 1:57.6 | meditate on His Word all throughout the day, to live according to it. God to help us, to learn this, |
| 2:04.3 | to believe this, and to live accordingly, to know that your Word will always prove true, |
| 2:12.4 | that you will do all that you have promised. God repraise you for the reliability of your Word, |
| 2:18.6 | of your promises, that you will be with all who trust in you, that you will never leave us, |
