Baruch was Jeremiah’s special assistant and compiler of his prophetic messages (Jeremiah 45:1). Notice how he responded to the messages he was writing on Jeremiah’s behalf (Jeremiah 45:3). That was exactly how God wanted His people to respond in fear and trembling to the messages He was sending to them through Jeremiah but instead they answered the prophet with pride, arrogance, rebellion, and stubbornness (Jeremiah 44:16). God’s word made Baruch to grieve. He fainted from sighing and was restless (Jeremiah 45:3; compare this with Nehemiah 1:4-5).
How do we react to God’s word today (Isaiah 66:2)? Some people engage in surfing the internet, checking messages or discussing with friends during worship in the church. Is this true of you or someone you know? That amounts to disrespect and contempt for God’s word. Read Jeremiah 45:4-5 again. Observe the warning and the promise given to Baruch. How do these apply to believers today? We should not join men of the world in the rat race of materialism because everything that they are running after would be destroyed by fire (2 Peter 3:10; 1 John 2:15-17). The most important thing to us should be the salvation of our souls.
