Jeremiah 42-43, Proverbs 7, 1 Corinthians 15:20-58
What God said to me – After Babylon had conquered Israel and taken most of them captive back to Babylon there was a remnant of the army and people who had escaped. They approached Jeremiah and asked him to see Me on their behalf as to what they were to do and they promised no matter what it was, pleasant or unpleasant, that they would be obedient to My direction and instruction. But when Jeremiah came back to them, what I had commanded didn’t line up with what they had pre-determined was the correct path, so they rejected it and went their own way. They paid a terrible price for their disobedience. You must learn from this account and when you pray and ask for My direction, don’t come up with your own plan and hope I agree with you. Quit stewing and coming up with different scenarios and how they might work out. Stop! Trust Me to be faithful to work out My plan. You just pray and wait until I answer your prayer and give you direction.
