Essential Studies.
Jeremiah 39, Why trust leads to doing rightly
Additional studies: Jeremiah Index
Why didn’t anyone else in the palace, a Hebrew, an Israelite, or a Jew, go to the king on Jeremiah’s behalf? They were afraid of the consequences, the repercussions to themselves if they got involved. But to do what is right, regardless of man, or man’s anger—to do what is right, regardless of what notice it will draw or what consequences might befall you—that takes trust in YHVH.
Ebed-Melech feared YHVH more than he feared the Babylonians at the gates or the Jews among whom he dwelt as a slave, therefore he trusted in YHVH rather than in what man would do to him.
Psalm 135, Momentary, light afflictions
Additional studies: Psalms Book Five: 107-150 Index
Everything in my life could be crashing down around me, or I could just be having a bad day. Or a good one, for that matter. But no matter what tribulation I am experiencing in the world at this moment, it is forever true that it is pleasant to sing praises unto His name. Refocus my attention, the Lord encourages me, off of my troubles, and on to Himself. With my attention focused on Him, I gain proper perspective, and my troubles shrink to their appropriate miniscule size. I can be of good cheer, for Jesus has overcome the world. The tribulation of this world may even result in my death, as it does every day for Christian martyrs in other parts of the world, but by His resurrection Jesus has conquered death. Death, the last enemy, is a defeated foe. How much more today’s momentary, light afflictions?
