Show Notes

I left you yesterday waiting, do you remember? When’s the last time you spent a long period of time praying and waiting for God to give you a much-needed answer for guiding your life? That’s what the old prophet Jeremiah was doing… praying and waiting. But Jeremiah was not the only one waiting! Jeremiah’s petition for God’s guidance wasn’t for himself, but rather for a large group of weary Israeli refugees fleeing disaster, do you remember who they are? These had been the last to leave destroyed, demolished Jerusalem after its destruction by the Babylonian army in 586bc. (Jeremiah 40:6) They’d heard Mizpah was a safe place so went there, about 10 miles north of Jerusalem and spent several months there. Thousands of other war refugees also came to Mizpah having heard it was safe there. (Jeremiah 40:11,12) And it was, until a terrorist attack killed the benevolent leaders and ruthlessly took charge of this war weary group of refugees which included Jeremiah the prophet. (Jeremiah 41:1-3)
