Day 223 of Chronological Bible in One Year devotional from Jeremiah 49:1-33, 2 Kings 24:5-9, 2 Chronicles 36:6-9, Jeremiah 22:24-30, and Jeremiah 23:1-32:
The fall of kings Jehoiakim and Jehoiachin, along with the judgments on nations like Ammon, Edom, and Damascus (Jeremiah 49), reveal a truth: no leader, nation, or power can stand secure when they reject God’s authority. In Jeremiah 22:24-30, God declares judgment on leaders who refuse His ways, removing their influence and legacy.
Jeremiah 23 contrasts false prophets—who speak their own dreams to please people—with the coming of the Righteous Branch from David’s line. False voices offer comfort without truth, leading people astray. But God’s Word is like fire and a hammer—purifying, strong, and able to break through stubbornness.
For us today, this is a call to discernment and trust in Christ, our Righteous Shepherd. He leads us with justice, truth, and mercy, and His reign cannot be shaken. Let’s anchor ourselves to His voice above all others.
Prayer: Lord, silence every false voice that seeks to lead me away from You. Plant my feet firmly in Your truth. Thank You for the Righteous Branch, my Shepherd and King, who reigns with justice and mercy. Keep my heart attentive to Your Word alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.
