—Jeremiah 46:25-28
by: Kristin Camenga.
In Jeremiah 42 and 43, when the remnant of Israel was told by Jeremiah that they should stay in the land and not go to Egypt, they stubbornly decided to go to Egypt for safety. What a shock it must have been that God was going to bring the armies of Babylon to destroy Egypt! But God, with compassion for His disobedient people, gave them hope: while He would discipline them (v. 28), He would also save them out of Egypt (v.27). God was with them and there was no need for fear! How has God made His presence known and saved you, even when you have followed your own way?
