Jeremiah 38:1-28
Obey the Lord by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, ad your life will be spared. But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the Lord has revealed to me: All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah was put into the cistern, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had not water in it, only mud.
But Ebed-Melech, a Cushite, an official in the royal palace asked the king save Jeremiah out from cistern.
Why?
An appeal to the king, who is anxious to know God's word but lacks faith and courage to act on it, wins him a move to the palace courtyard, but he remains in close custody on a daily ration of bread as long as supplies. The next move into the muddy bottom of the courtyard well, where he would have hied but for Ebedmelch's appeal to the king.
Like to listen is useless, faith and courage to obey the word of Lord is the key.
How?
Don't just read Bible and listen the word of God in Church. Do what the Lord says, obey his command. I need more pray and focus on the Lord.
