“The commander of the guard took Yirmeyahu and said to him, Adonai your God decreed this disaster for this place, and Adonai has brought it about; He has done what He said He would do, because you people sinned against Adonai and did not listen to what He said; that is why this has come upon you.”
Jeremiah 40:2-3 CJB
Even the pagan captain here understands that God said what He would do to Judah, because of their disobedience! Understand, God means what He says and says what He means! If you love God, then just obey what He says!
“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.”
John 14:15 CJB
When we love someone, we will listen to them and try to make them happy by doing what they say. So if we love Adonai, we really should be striving to do what He says!
“For loving God means obeying His commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB
The commands of Adonai are not a burden, but to help us walk on His right path and to do things His way, not ours! Remember, His ways keep us out of messes, our ways get us into messes!
Have a blessed day following Him!
