Meditation on Jeremiah 52

Beginning from chapter 46, Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed God's judgment against a list of nations neighboring Israel. In the middle of those fiercely prediction of disasters, God did not forget His people. Jeremiah often mentioned that God would forgive and restore the remnant of Israel after a period of punishment.

Then at the end His oracle, Jeremiah mentioned the captive King of Israel, Jehoiachin. After many years of captivity, he was brought out of prison. He was treated above all other captured kings. He did not wear prison clothes but ate with the king of Babylon all the days of his life. And he was given a regular portion by the King everyday. (v. 31-34)

God remembers those who belong to Him. He would give them their daily bread physically even through their enemy. For spiritual food, God certainly will provide for His people who turned to Him daily so their souls will be satisfied. Are you rejoicing in the presence of the King of Kings today?
