Words of wisdom: Now it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this Word came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying: Take a scroll of a book and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Isreal, against Judah, and against all the nations from the day I spoke to you. Jeremiah 36:1-2a
Life point
Do it again! Even though Jeremiah was in prison, he still received prophecies from the Lord and recorded them, according to the scripture above, he would record it on parchment that was rolled up into a scroll.
Then one of his servants would come and carry the message throughout the land, since Jeremiah was unable to go personally. From this we can see that God is not put off by inconveniences. He always finds another way to get to get the job done.
God gave Jeremiah a specific prophecy about Isreal and Judah and He told him to record it on a scroll. When the king heard about the scroll, he ordered it to be brought to the royal palace and read to him.
Whatever the case the king did not like what Jehudi was reading because he liked his unrighteous lifestyle and did not want to change it. So he cut up and burnt section after section from the scroll until he burnt up all Jeremiah’s prophecies.
Can you imagine how Jeremiah must have felt when he learned that all of his hard work had been burnt up. Can you relate to that experience? Have you ever worked on something for a long time and struggled and done everything you know how to do and somehow the devil got in and destroyed it all? The word to you is “Do it again “
That is what Jeremiah did. God’s answer to Jeremiah’s terrible dilemma and discouragement was “Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll “(Jeremiah 36:28). God said basically “Jeremiah, go get yourself another scroll and write the thing over” in other words do it again.
If you and I want to be strong and victorious in the kingdom of God, we must be willing to do it… and then do it again and again. If necessary until we get a breakthrough and what God has called us to do is completed.
Prayer
Lord empower me to overcome discouragement and strengthen me to finish strong in Jesus Christ name!
