It's Wednesday.
2
:Yeah, it is.
3
:It's Wednesday, Wednesday,
th,:
4
:And you're back for another
episode of the daily Bible podcast.
5
:And we are back in the
book of you guessed it.
6
:Jeremiah.
7
:Jeremiah 26 through 29.
8
:In fact, uh, Jeremiah 29, 11, and one
of the more well-known verses spoiler
9
:alert, often taken out of context.
10
:That we find in the entire Bible.
11
:So we'll cover that in today's
passage, in today's reading as well.
12
:But before we get there, I,
uh, has been spending some
13
:time prepping for a marriage.
14
:That's coming up a wedding that I get
to do this, uh, this coming Saturday.
15
:Excited about doing that.
16
:And as I'm doing that, I'm just
thinking about how much I love.
17
:Wedding ceremonies.
18
:And in specifically wedding ceremonies
where it's two believers that are getting
19
:married, which is obviously the ideal
for us, but the reason I love it is
20
:because anytime I do a wedding, there's
always unbelievers that are there.
21
:And, and I know that there's so
much about a believers' wedding, a
22
:Christian wedding that doesn't make
sense unless, you know, Christ, there's
23
:so much about it, that, that people
sit there and they shake their heads.
24
:When I'm talking to.
25
:The bride and saying,
look, God's role for you.
26
:His job for you is he's calling
you to submit to your husband
27
:as Christ does the church.
28
:You can almost.
29
:Feel the, the, the simmering in
some of the audience they're going,
30
:I can't believe how outdated this
is and how absurd that is, that
31
:they would say that the wife's
job has to submit to her husband.
32
:And then the husband to say,
Hey, you need to love your wife.
33
:As Christ loved the church and
gave himself up for they usually
34
:we get less objections they're from
the same people, but specifically
35
:that, that one with the wife and.
36
:And yet it's, it's just
a picture of the gospel.
37
:It's a picture of what's
taken place there.
38
:And it's a picture of specifically, as
it says, there, submit to your husbands
39
:as, as the church does to Christ is.
40
:Is a, is such an important concept
in, in as to the Lord, because
41
:really what that means is as the wife
submits to her husband, it's first
42
:and foremost, an act of obedience to
the Lord, an active obedience to God.
43
:Way before.
44
:It's about her relationship
with her husband.
45
:Yes.
46
:It's about a relationship with her
husband, but what frees up the, the
47
:wives there to be able to follow
the leadership of their husbands
48
:is, is to know, Hey, you know what?
49
:This is about my relationship with
the Lord, that, that this is an act
50
:of obedience to God that I'm storing
up treasure for myself and heaven.
51
:And honestly, this is not about what
the world tries to make it to be
52
:about, which is about inferiority.
53
:It's not that at all.
54
:In fact, the same language
is used by Paul elsewhere of
55
:Christ submitting to the father.
56
:And so we understand that is not
in implying any sort of inferiority
57
:to say that that Jesus submission
to the father is somehow, uh,
58
:an inferiority and personhood.
59
:It's not that at all.
60
:God, God is father son, holy spirit,
three persons all equally God.
61
:And so we wouldn't say that Jesus
has less God or, or a lesser God,
62
:because his role, his submission
to the will of the father she's.
63
:Just a different role in God's design
and that's the same thing for the wife.
64
:And honestly the, the, the burden,
the, the much more difficult
65
:task is given to the husband.
66
:Uh, to love his wife as Christ loved
the church and gave himself up for that.
67
:He might sanctify her.
68
:That is.
69
:Massive that that undertaking is, is
all but unattainable, uh, to, to love
70
:someone as Christ loved the church.
71
:And yet that's our target.
72
:That's our goal.
73
:And underlying all of that is
a need for the gospel, right?
74
:Because we're all going to fail in
that husbands and wives that like are
75
:not going to carry this out perfectly.
76
:And knowing that we need to
have the gospel at the center
77
:of our marriages as Christians.
78
:And be quick to forgive and quick to
seek forgiveness from our spouse and
79
:understand that this is not somebody who's
perfectly sanctified that I'm married
80
:to, and I'm not perfectly sanctified and
we're going to sin against each other.
81
:And we also just need to be ready
to forgive each other because of
82
:what Christ has done for us and how
much we've been forgiven and God.
83
:So all that to say super excited
about doing a wedding this weekend.
84
:It's always fun to do that
times of celebration, times of
85
:joy at our wedding ceremonies.
86
:So looking forward to that, and if some
of you are going to probably be there.
87
:Uh, but can't wait for that.
88
:It's been a great couple of weeks here.
89
:It comes to Bible church.
90
:God seems to be building his
church, growing his church.
91
:Which is awesome.
92
:And we can't wait for him
to continue to do that.
93
:Uh, as he brings more people to
the church and brings more families
94
:to the church, we've got campus,
one-on-one coming up this weekend.
95
:So if you're new to our church, And still
trying to figure out some things about us.
96
:We would invite you to stay after the
service on Sunday for lunch,:
97
:And hear more about
who we are as a church.
98
:We'd love for you to
get registered for that.
99
:We've got child dedications coming up.
100
:In mid September, September 15th, I
believe his child dedication Sunday.
101
:Uh, that is not about the children
as much as it is the parents.
102
:We are dedicating the parents to
raising the children in the discipline
103
:and instruction of the Lord.
104
:And then two weeks after that, we've got
our baptism service on Sunday evening,
105
:the 30th of September, if you've not been
baptized as a believer, now's the time get
106
:registered, get signed up, get applied,
get all of the different synonyms.
107
:That all mean different things.
108
:So they're not really even
synonyms, but I'm just rambling now.
109
:Hey, we want you in the
tank on Sunday, the 30th.
110
:So sign up for baptisms.
111
:That's the better word.
112
:That's the word I'm looking for?
113
:You can do that at our website there under
the get connected tab, and we would love
114
:to see you get up there and, uh, and bear
witness to what God has done in your life
115
:and take that important step of obedience.
116
:So lots of exciting things going
on here at compass Bible church.
117
:But let's jump into God's word together.
118
:Jeremiah 26, Jeremiah 26 is
really message number 12.
119
:So again, there's, there's 14
messages to open up the book.
120
:We're going to get through message
14 in today's reading as well.
121
:And then it moves on from this,
but these are these, these opening
122
:messages, the opening Salvos.
123
:That are delivered to Israel
and Judah specifically saying,
124
:Hey, this is what's going on.
125
:This is what's going to happen.
126
:You need to be aware of that.
127
:So Jeremiah 26.
128
:Uh, we're still flashing back
here in the prophet prophesy
129
:too, uh, before, uh, chapter 24.
130
:And we're before chap chapter
24, by about 12 years.
131
:This chapter here opens in
5 0 9 BC, about 5 0 9 BC.
132
:We read that in the beginning
of the reign of Jehoiakim, the
133
:son of Josiah king of Judah.
134
:This word came from the Lord.
135
:So we know the timeframe because
of the dates of the Kings there.
136
:So about 609 BC, uh, verse three,
at this time, there was still, uh,
137
:at least the offer of repentance.
138
:Uh, I've mentioned this
time and time again.
139
:I think this was more about
confirming the stubborn sinfulness
140
:of the nation than it was anything
else because they weren't going to
141
:repent, but it is a genuine offer.
142
:And, and that's important
to know anytime we see this.
143
:Anytime we see the Lord say,
Hey, look here, this is an offer.
144
:If you will repent, I will do this.
145
:It's not, it's not a lie.
146
:It's not deceptive on God's part.
147
:If the people really had repented,
he really truly would have relented.
148
:And so th that's something
that we should bear in mind.
149
:As we read through these, these
aren't just a false offer.
150
:That's not really genuine.
151
:It is there.
152
:And yet at the same time, I think what it
serves to do the purpose, it accomplishes.
153
:Is it serves to just show
us as the reader now.
154
:Uh, the stubbornness of the people,
because they refuse to repent here.
155
:Again, in verse three, that.
156
:The comparison.
157
:We find here to Shiloh, which was
once the police where God's presence,
158
:dwelled, but had been destroyed by
the Philistines almost 600 years.
159
:Prior to this time, he's saying,
look, Uh, careful because Judah runs
160
:the risk of becoming like Shiloh.
161
:Yeah.
162
:I know you think you're fine because
the temple is here, but remember Shiloh,
163
:I once had my presence dwelling in
Shiloh and that's gone and now I can
164
:remove it from here just as easily.
165
:And so that's a.
166
:Uh, warning to the people, not to boast
in thinking that they're fine because,
167
:Hey, we've got the temple in our backyard.
168
:Verses four through 11 of chapter
26, Jeremiah here is seized
169
:and drug before a tribunal.
170
:Uh, to answer for these words
and so that the people hear him
171
:prophesying against the city against
the temple against Jerusalem.
172
:And they are outraged at this.
173
:And so he's arrested and he's taken
and he's brought before this tribunal,
174
:um, And in verses 12 through 13.
175
:You see bold Jeremiah.
176
:Uh, it's rep reminiscent.
177
:If you were watching the
Olympics kind of, of.
178
:The Sydney McLaughlin And if you
watched some of the interviews with her.
179
:At the Olympics, she was being
told, Hey, you need to tone
180
:down your rhetoric about Jesus.
181
:If you don't tone down your
rudder rhetoric about Jesus,
182
:you're going to start to lose out
on some of these sponsorships.
183
:People are going to kick you to the curb.
184
:They're not going to be
interested in you anymore.
185
:And she responded by saying, I don't,
I don't care about those things.
186
:I'm here to represent my
Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
187
:And he's given me this platform
and that's what I'm going to do.
188
:And so here, you've got
Jeremiah and Jeremiah's kind
189
:of being told the same thing.
190
:Hey, you need to tone down
the rhetoric about this.
191
:Otherwise it's not going to go well
for you, but in verses 12 through
192
:13, he says, look, the Lord sent me
to prophesied against this house in
193
:this city, all the words you've heard.
194
:Now, therefore mend your ways and your
deeds and obey the voice of the Lord.
195
:Your God.
196
:And so he's saying, look.
197
:I'm here to do one thing to deliver the
message that God gave me to deliver.
198
:And so you see bold Jeremiah
here in verses 12 through 13.
199
:And then 16 through 24, though, it was
not unheard of for a prophet to be killed.
200
:For words like Jeremiah's the Lord
was with him and did not allow
201
:the same fate to be fall him.
202
:And so.
203
:It was dangerous and
they wanted to kill him.
204
:And yet the Lord spared and the Lord.
205
:Uh, kept him from that fate
because he wasn't done with him.
206
:That's why, and let's not forget
that the reason why Jeremiah.
207
:Kept going, kept preaching, kept
prophesying, kept going with the,
208
:in the face of opposition with
the Lord wasn't done with him yet.
209
:Uh, George Whitfield was known to,
to say on multiple occasions, I am
210
:immortal until my work on earth is done.
211
:Eh, what a mindset that is to say, okay.
212
:I'm not going anywhere until God's
done with me as far as the work that
213
:he has for me to do here on earth.
214
:And so they're in.
215
:Is, uh, is what we find here
with, with, uh, with Whitfield.
216
:And we see it in Jeremiah.
217
:As well here.
218
:Well, Uh, we get into chapter 27 then,
and now we're flashing forward again.
219
:So we were in 609 BC and chapter 26.
220
:Now we're jumping forward to 5 97 BC
and Zedekiah is currently on the throne.
221
:And so the time markers
given for us there.
222
:Jeremiah 2071 in the beginning
of the reign of Zedekiah the
223
:son of Josiah king of Judah.
224
:This word came to Jeremiah from the Lord.
225
:So we're jumping forward.
226
:And again, you may be wondering
why we jump in backwards.
227
:Jumping forward, jumping sideways.
228
:What's going on.
229
:Well, I think if, if nothing else.
230
:It does serve to show us that the.
231
:Th there was not a
positive trajectory here.
232
:There was not like a where
the people doing okay.
233
:With where they responding.
234
:We get to see them.
235
:In 609, we get to see them in 5 97,
and we're going to get to see them at
236
:5 86 and, and the whole time there.
237
:The people of Judah are still
rebelling against the gap against God.
238
:They're still not doing well.
239
:And so Jeremiah is continuing
to deliver his messages there.
240
:Uh, Jeremiah 27, again, 5 97 BC.
241
:On the throne.
242
:Uh, there's a manuscript
issue though, with this verse
243
:with some reading joy, Kim.
244
:Uh, as king instead of Zedekiah, but the
rest of the context and the references
245
:does that a cayenne chapter 28.
246
:Uh, make it an easy decision for us.
247
:So the manuscripts that say
Jehovah came not Zedekiah,
248
:those ones are copyist errors.
249
:Uh, that lead to that reading because
the rest of the context in chapter
250
:28, the references are, does that.
251
:And so that's what we should see
here is, is that a key to here in
252
:chapter 27, verses one through 11.
253
:Uh, you get a message to the
nations to submit to the impending
254
:invasion by Nebuchadnezzar.
255
:If they want it to go well with them.
256
:Uh, for resisting him would
ultimately be resisting God.
257
:So this is a message at Jeremiah.
258
:The prophet delivers to the
nation surrounding the city.
259
:Because Babylon was coming for them too.
260
:And the message that Jeremiah delivered
to them was, Hey, don't resist understand
261
:this is from the God of creation and
you need to not resist them because
262
:if you resist the Babylonians, you're
going to be found resisting Dodd, and
263
:it's not going to go well for you.
264
:Well, verses 12 through 22, Jude is not
going to be left out of that same message.
265
:It's the same thing delivered to Judah.
266
:Babylon has already come up at
this point and taken some captive.
267
:That was back in 6 0 5.
268
:So Babylon is not such a foreign
thought that they should return
269
:and do the same thing again.
270
:So Jeremiah is warning the people
not to listen to the prophets who are
271
:speaking falsely again, the prophet
saying comfort, comfort, peace, peace.
272
:My people, when there
is no peace or comfort.
273
:He's warning them not to resist less.
274
:They become a city.
275
:Uh, that is, uh, just a desolation.
276
:So Jeremiah is saying it's, it's not over.
277
:Uh, don't think that,
that, that that's it.
278
:And just because you survived
the first round of exile
279
:that you're going to be fine.
280
:Don't be fooled in by your profits, your
false profits, seeing everything's good.
281
:And don't worry about it.
282
:Jeremiah is warning them to, to
remember and to understand the
283
:judgment that's coming and to.
284
:To, to repent and, and, and, and
that's so much of the book of Jeremiah.
285
:Okay.
286
:If you're sitting here going, man, I just.
287
:We're 5 97.
288
:We're 605 we're 5 86.
289
:I don't know where we are.
290
:I don't know what to do.
291
:Here's what you need to know about the
book of Jeremiah, the book of Jeremiah,
292
:again, written by the weeping prophet.
293
:Is all about the impending exile of
Judah and time, and time and time again
294
:in the book, he's bringing this message
saying to them, here's what you've done.
295
:Here's your sin.
296
:Here's the judgment that's coming.
297
:So you need to repent.
298
:That's what Jeremiah is about.
299
:It's about calling the nation of Judah
still to repent, even as Babylon is
300
:building the seeds, ramps up to the city.
301
:Even as some have already
been taken captive into exile.
302
:Uh, Jeremiah is about trying to
get the people to truly repent.
303
:And if they would truly
repent, God would truly relent.
304
:And that's what the book of
Jeremiah is really about.
305
:All right.
306
:Chapter 28.
307
:Chapter 28.
308
:The, uh, the, the chapter here
opens up and we do have another
309
:quasi textual issue here.
310
:It says in that same year, in the
beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of
311
:Judah, the fifth month of the fourth year.
312
:So now we're in the fourth year.
313
:So, so that has led some to say,
okay, where are we here then?
314
:Because it says same year.
315
:So we're saying the same year of chapter
27, but now we're in the fourth year.
316
:Uh, I was at a cash
rain, not the first year.
317
:What do we do with that?
318
:Well, 27 1 is probably
where the issue lies.
319
:Uh, in other words, that, that verse,
that reference term at the beginning
320
:of chapter 27, it's, it's more likely
that 28 1 is, is the accurate verse.
321
:And we're still uncertain
about the correct reading of.
322
:Jeremiah 27 1.
323
:In fact that the Septuagint completely
takes Jeremiah 27 1 out just
324
:because they're not exactly sure
what the original reading is, but
325
:we do know it's during Zedekiah's
reign, uh, is during this season.
326
:And, uh, and, and that's, what's
going on there in, uh, in 27.
327
:We find in chapter 28, a false prophet in
the false province name is Hannah Naya.
328
:And so don't get confused.
329
:Cause sometimes we hear words like
Hannah and I are names I can't
330
:and I, and we're like, oh, that's
a good guy because of Daniel.
331
:No, this is not the same guy.
332
:This is a different guy.
333
:Another hint and I, and he's a bad
dude because he gets here and remember.
334
:We've lost sight of this
and, and forgive me for that.
335
:But Jeremiah has been
prophesying with this.
336
:This yoke on his neck.
337
:Uh, this wouldn't yoke on his neck and
it was a depiction of the exile that the
338
:people were going to go into suffer under.
339
:So here comes Hannah and I in him
and I comes in and says, listen.
340
:Uh, verse two, thus says the Lord.
341
:Of hosts, the God of Israel.
342
:I broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
343
:I.
344
:That sounds pretty good.
345
:In fact, so much so that
Jeremiah says in verse six.
346
:Amen.
347
:Amen.
348
:Hannah and I may the Lord do so.
349
:And may the Lord make the words
that you have prophesied come true
350
:and bring back to this place from
Babylon, all the vessels of the
351
:house of the Lord in all the exiles.
352
:So Jeremiah is like,
man, so be it awesome.
353
:Jeremiah is not in this
to build his own name.
354
:He's not.
355
:Uh, profit.
356
:That's like, oh man.
357
:Uh, he's undermining my
undermining, my prophecy, oh man.
358
:He's he's taken my spot.
359
:That's not Jew.
360
:Jeremiah is Jeremiah is, is
about the good of the people.
361
:And he saying would that,
that would be the case.
362
:And then he says in verse nine, after
the prophet who prophesies peace,
363
:when the word of the prophet comes
to pass, then it will be known that
364
:the Lord truly sent the prophet.
365
:Well then Hannah and I, it comes up
to Jeremiah and he takes the yoke from
366
:Jeremiah, his neck and he breaks it.
367
:And he breaks it and he breaks it
saying, look, this is what God is
368
:going to do to the, the yoke of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
369
:Well, a little bit later though, the word
of the Lord comes to Jeremiah that the
370
:Lord is true prophet who goes to Hannah.
371
:And I and says to him and I at
verse 13, Hey, you know what?
372
:You broken wooden bars, but you've
made an, a yoke of iron in her place.
373
:And so it seems like whatever the exile
was going to be previous to this, it's
374
:going to be even worse now because of the.
375
:The false prophecy and the
lies of Hannah and I am.
376
:Verse 14 for thus says the Lord I've
put upon the neck of all of these
377
:nations and iron yoke to serve.
378
:Nev Nebuchadnezzar.
379
:We know from other prophecies that,
uh, the false prophets were, were
380
:complacent or complicit in so much
of the, um, th the sin of the people
381
:and the rebellion of the people.
382
:And so God is saying, because of your
words, you've made things even worse.
383
:Uh, for the people.
384
:And then Jeremiah says in
verse 15, listen, Hannah and
385
:I, the Lord has not sent you.
386
:So he's pulling the curtain back.
387
:He said, look, the Lord has not sent you.
388
:And you've made this
people trust in the lie.
389
:So therefore says the Lord in
verse 16, I'm going to remove
390
:you from the face of the earth.
391
:So, uh, yeah.
392
:That's that's pretty stark, pretty
startling, not good for Hannah nigh.
393
:So Hannah and I have the false
prophet, Jeremiah chapter 28.
394
:All right.
395
:Chapter 29, uh, chapter 29, we get
the, uh, the time marker there.
396
:These are the words of the letter
that Jeremiah, the prophet sent from
397
:Jerusalem to the surviving elders
of the exiles, to the priests, the
398
:prophets, and all the people who've
never been in Israel, taken into exile.
399
:From Jerusalem to Babylon.
400
:So he's writing a letter to
those that are already in exile.
401
:So probably shortly after
the 5 97 deportation there.
402
:Uh, he is writing to those
that have been carried away.
403
:So in that group would have been Daniel
and Hannah and I as Ariah and Michelle.
404
:They would have been part of the,
the recipients of this letter from
405
:the prophet Jeremiah, but he says
in verses four through 10, you know
406
:what God is telling you, don't, don't
expect this to be a short-term thing.
407
:Don't live out of your suitcase.
408
:In other words, if you go to a hotel,
sometimes I'm sure most of you.
409
:Uh, probably live out of
your suitcase in the hotel.
410
:Some of you.
411
:Uh, like to put your clothes away in
the drawers and that's good for you.
412
:Uh, but, but most of us probably
just live out of the suitcase.
413
:Jeremiah saying don't
live out of the suitcase.
414
:Buy houses, build houses, put down
roots, get married, have families.
415
:And at the same time.
416
:Pray for the well-being
of Babylon in verse 10.
417
:Uh, seek the welfare of
the city and pray for it.
418
:And that's man, that should be our
focus right now as well for our nation.
419
:We should seek the welfare of our nation.
420
:We should pray for the
welfare of our nation.
421
:These are things that are good for us to
do as believers, because it's going to
422
:go better for us if we are doing that.
423
:And if, if the things are
going better for our nation.
424
:So he's telling the exiles,
Hey, pray, pray for Babylon
425
:even, but put, put down roots.
426
:He said, don't expect this
to be a short-term thing.
427
:It's going to be 70 years.
428
:Know that, understand that.
429
:All right, Jeremiah 29 11.
430
:This is the one that's out of context
for, I know the plans I have for
431
:you declares the Lord plans for
your welfare and not for evil to
432
:give you a bright and future hope.
433
:Yeah, such a fun verse.
434
:Uh, I remember growing up, I think my mom
had needle pointed that and put it up on
435
:the wall at one point or another other
people have it stenciled in their homes.
436
:Uh, listen, this verses
written to Israel in exile.
437
:And it's, it's a promise to those
that are in exile, uh, of God
438
:saying I'm going to bring you back.
439
:That's that's the context.
440
:That's the immediate context of
this now does God care for us?
441
:Does he have a future and a hope for us?
442
:Yes.
443
:But should we preach that from this verse?
444
:No, because this verses about
Israel and the exiles in
445
:Babylon, this verses not about.
446
:You suffering under, uh, you
know, a political regime that
447
:you wish wasn't there, here in
the United States of America.
448
:Uh, God does care about you and
he does have a future for you.
449
:It's just not based on this verse.
450
:Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14 is about
how God was again, going to visit
451
:the exiles and bring them back.
452
:They would have this hope in this future
in being restored to a land where they
453
:had been removed from if and when they
would repent and seek the Lord and prayer.
454
:That's what, what Jeremiah 29 11 is about.
455
:And so it's listen.
456
:Do you need to repaint your,
your kitchen wall maybe?
457
:Uh, but you don't have to.
458
:Uh, but all that to say Jeremiah
29 11 is not your life verse.
459
:Uh, it's it's the life verse of
the exiles that were in Babylon.
460
:God was talking to them specifically.
461
:God has a plan for you.
462
:Yes, I'm not denying that.
463
:And it's a good plan and it's a plan
to give you a future and a hope in
464
:being with him and being with Christ.
465
:But, but Jeremiah 29, 11.
466
:Isn't uh, isn't for you.
467
:It's not for you.
468
:Uh, Jeremiah 29, 15 through 19, then.
469
:Things where, uh, we're going to go for.
470
:Not so well for those that
were going to stay behind.
471
:So in Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14,
again, he's writing to those that
472
:are already in exile, but in 15
through 19, he's saying what about
473
:those that are going to stay behind?
474
:Yeah.
475
:It's not going to go well, uh,
things are going to be bad for them.
476
:There's going to be family and
there's going to be a sore.
477
:There's going to be death and
it's not going to go well.
478
:Versus the 2121 through 23, uh, two
more false prophets called out by name.
479
:So 28 was Hannah Naya here, 21 through 23.
480
:You've got two other
false prophets called out.
481
:And then finally in 24 through 32,
you've got another guy named shamiah.
482
:uh, who specifically opposed your Maya
he's called out here and condemned.
483
:And so, uh, yeah, there you go.
484
:26, 27, 28, 29, uh, of Jeremiah
is, uh, is done for us.
485
:That's our message for the day.
486
:So let's pray and then we'll
be done with this episode.
487
:God, thanks for this day.
488
:Thanks for.
489
:Uh, just allowing us to spend
time in your word together
490
:again, and we are grateful for.
491
:Uh, just your kindness to us.
492
:We want to be like Jeremiah and we want
to pray for the welfare of our nation.
493
:We want to pray that you would allow us
to thrive as a church here to get done
494
:the work that you have for us to do that.
495
:We are.
496
:Uh, like Jeremiah and George Whitfield
immortal until the work on earth
497
:that you have for us to do is done.
498
:And so we want to be faithful to do that.
499
:And we do want to ask that you
would give us, uh, uh, Environment.
500
:To do that well, and to do that with
as little opposition as possible
501
:so that we can be fruitful and
effective and it help us to do that.
502
:Be fruitful and effective, not to be lazy
because we're comfortable, but to be.
503
:Um, aware of the need and, and to
really go after it and to Excel in it.
504
:And so we pray that and we ask
that we pray this in Jesus name.
505
:Amen.
506
:All right guys, turn it against
them off for another episode
507
:of the daily Bible podcast.
