God commanded Jeremiah to write the words God gave him on a scroll and then it had to be read to the people.
Jehoiakim was the king of Judah at the time and on hearing what was read he had the scrolls burned. It made me think of the parable of the sower who sowed seed and some fell on rocks, some in the thorns and some on good ground.
Here we see how God inspired scripture through the Holy Spirit but some will hear it and try to alter or destroy it. God said that His Word will stand forever. So the efforts of those who oppose it or try to destroy it is in vain. God’s Word will triumph.
How amazing is it to know that we read a living Bible that is opened to us by the Holy Spirit. Let us open our hearts daily to receive God’s Word so that it will be a constant companion through our lives.
