Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net.

In Jeremiah chapter 40 verse 3 the Lord has brought it about and has done as he said.

This is the conclusion by the Captain of the Guard who takes Jeremiah in the beginning of this chapter and summarizes what has happened in Jerusalem.

Just like God had said, he has brought judgment upon the people in their sin and he's using Babylon to do it.

And we've prayed in different ways in this journey through the book of Jeremiah in light of God's judgment upon

his people for their sin. But the direction I want to lead us to pray today is more general.

Based on verse 3, the Lord has brought it about and has done as he said.

When I read this verse, I can't help but to think about all the promises of God,

promises of judgment and promises of blessing,

promises that fill God's word for God's people.

That's part of the problem here in Jeremiah.

They didn't trust the promises of God.

They trusted in other gods and other nations to protect them or provide for them.

And I just want to encourage you today to put all your trust in the promises of God.

Realizing we are tempted every day not to do that. You think about temptation to

sin. It's temptation to trust in yourself more than God and his word and his promises to you that he desires your good.

That's the first sin in the world.
