What do we learn?
1. In Chapter 21, we reflect on the potter’s earthen flask and realize it is a
symbol of God’s Judgment. It is broken in the sight of men and Jeremiah told
them the Lord said he would do the same to “this place”.
What symbols do you think God is using today?
2. Some times God’s prophets were tried to the end of their own strength.
Jeremiah reached the point where he cursed the day he was born. (20:14) We can
learn that each of us will be tested, some more than others.
3. Chapter 21 is a very sad chapter because the destruction of Jerusalem is
certain. The Lord said He would punish them according to the “fruit of your
doing” (21:14) What do you think His warning would be to all the nations today?
4. Jeremiah goes to the House of David and tells them to heed the word of the
Lord or be punished. (Chapter 22)
5. We learn that none of us can hide from God.
Precious Lord, We need you desperately today. Our nation and its people need to
put our trust in You. Please, Lord, do not destroy us in our sins but forgive us
and help us to depend on You to save our nation from destruction. Help all of us
to heed Your warnings! Thank you. We Praise You! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
