July 31

Jeremiah 5:20-6:30

2 Kings 22:3-20

2 Chronicles 34:8-28

 

God’s people no longer revered the Lord.  To be in His presence was a small thing to them.  They no longer found gratification in God but had turned to idolatry for their fulfillment.  God’s response is one of heartbreak and anger.  Punishment is assured.

 

An incredible thing happened at this time that affected the entire world’s future and rescued Judah from destruction until after Josiah died.  The Book of the Law was found in the Temple.  It is clear that this scroll or the contents had not been available for a long time, until now.  And the time that I now spend with the Lord thousands of years later is occurring because of this discovery.  There must have been other copies or at least other recordings that contained at least portions of this scroll’s contents but there are no indicators that such was available.  Nevertheless, we can be sure that copies were quickly and carefully made of this one.
