If Only Read Jeremiah 49:1 through 50:46 Heartbroken, the people of Judah had been carried off to captivity in Babylon. Jeremiah prophesied it would happen, but they chose to listen to their leaders, who assured them that Jerusalem would not fall. It was the message they wanted to believe, but now they lived in exile in the land of regrets. If only they had listened to the right voice. If only they had not allowed themselves to be led astray by ungodly leaders. “My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray and caused them to roam on the mountains. They wandered over mountain and hill and forgot their own resting place” (Jeremiah50:6). Yes, we want to be able to trust our leaders, but to blindly follow can have devastating results. It is critical that we know God’s Word and exercise discernment. Does what we’re being told line up with biblical truth? If not, will we have the courage to speak up and refuse to follow? Our future and the future of our children and grandchildren is at stake. Challenge for Today: Choose an issue in the news and study the Bible to see what God says about it.
