TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | JEREMIAH 12-16
Israel Forgot Jehovah
Jeremiah was given a challenging assignment that would illustrate Jehovah’s determination to bring to ruin the stubborn pride of Judah and Jerusalem.
Jeremiah bought a linen belt
The belt clinging to the waist symbolized the close relationship that was possible between Jehovah and the nation
Jeremiah took the belt to the Euphrates River
He hid it in the cleft of a crag, and he then returned to Jerusalem
Jeremiah returned to the Euphrates River to retrieve the belt
The belt was ruined
Jehovah explained the matter after Jeremiah carried out the assignment
Jeremiah’s heartfelt obedience in what may have seemed trivial played a role in Jehovah’s efforts to reach the hearts of the people
