Good morning! The air is cold outside this morning, and I am still fighting a cold inside. Speaking of fighting, the Lord does not seem to be overly concerned with what the military calls operational security. I read in Jeremiah this morning the prophecy to the Egyptians about their coming battles with the Babylonians. Nebuchadnezzar might have wished for surprise when he attacked Egypt, but the Lord speaking through Jeremiah, spelled out everything. As I am sure that Neb' came to realize, when the Creator of all promises victory there is no need to worry about keeping anything secret. We know that the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar did roll over the Egyptians and the last worldly hope of the Judeans was washed away like the sand on the beach. Do you suppose Jesus had this example in mind when telling us to build our hopes upon the Lord and not to be like the foolish man who built his house on the sand? The Judeans had been warned several times to trust only in the Lord and to return to Him. They trusted in the Egyptians, we can only wonder why, and they too were flattened by Nebuchadnezzar's armies. Neb was described by God as "my servant, Nebuchadnezzar" That is not a good sign when the Lord is speaking about your enemies on this earth! Yes, if the Lord is referring to a nation's enemies as His servants, that nation may want to be taking a good look at their relationship with God, because something isn't right. There are things in America that are not right at this time, we too might receive prophetic warnings if we don't continue to trust in God and obey Him.
I pray that you have a wonderful day in Christ Jesus!
