Reward each person according to their conduct

Jeremiah 32:1-25
Jeremiah prayed to the Lord, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.
See how the siege ramps are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague, the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said has happened, as you now see. And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, you, Sovereign Lord, say to me, But the field with silver and have the transaction witnessed.
It is 588: Jeremiah is under siege and Jeremiah's home town. Anathoth, in enemy hands. Cousin Hanamel is some optimist, coming to the imprisoned prophet to try to sell land at a time like this!
Amazingly, Jeremiah buys - and his purchase shouts the message: 'God has a future for Judah. 'Everyone in the city must have heard about it. Jeremiah acts under orders from God; only afterward does he admit his puzzlement.
In answer God outlines his immediate, and his ultimate purpose of the nation.
Why?
Jeremiah is totally obey God's order to do everything, even he was under seige, he purchased the field of his cousin. And the land is under the enemy.
But Jeremiah lives without himself but for God only. No matter what situation he is or under prison. He is a real God's prophet.
God is amazing Lord and Jeremiah is amazing to listen to the word of the Lord.
How?
Learn from Jeremiah, live for the Lord only.
