burning the scroll

IMG_1544Jeremiah 36

By burning the scroll of Jeremiah’s prophecies concerning his downfall, Jehoiakim thought he had put an end to the threat.  Just as today, popular culture seeks to discredit the validity of the words of scripture, but the word of God will prevail against all attempts to destroy it, and those who seek to discredit it are simply condemning themselves. 

LORD, when we read your word, may we not act foolishly as Jehoiakim did.  May we respond in repentance, and preserve ourselves from its judgments.
