Captives

2 Kings 24, 25

Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, conquered Jerusalem and looted everything of value. He even led off its army of fighting men. From this period of disgrace and contradiction we gain the writings of Daniel and other significant prophets. Yes, although the national complexion was vastly different, God was not hindered in relaying His message and accomplishing His eternal goals.

With every regime change there is apprehension in the hearts of many. Nevertheless, GOD IS NOT HINDERED. No vote can deter His purposes and plans. The wisest posture is one of prayer. Many times, prayer is the ONLY thing we can do, and it is often the BEST thing we can do.

The battle is not ours, it’s the Lord’s. [2 Chron. 20:15]

Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. [Jer. 29:7]
