Scripture Union Daily Guide 9th April 2026 – Outline
One can only imagine the audacity of the king as he tore the message that the Lord had sent to him and the people. This was a deliberate action, and one can only wonder what he hopes to achieve by destroying the message. Compare the response of another king to similar situation (2 Kings 22:11-20). Read Jeremiah 36:27-32 again. Godless people have attacked the Bible over the ages, but the Bible has outlived them all. We still have Jeremiah’s book in our Bible today, but Jehoiakim has long perished.
Today, in many countries, the word of God, the Bible, is still being attacked, not necessarily burnt like Jehoiakim did but disregarded, dishonoured and disobeyed. However, God’s word can never be destroyed (see Psalms 119:89). Notice the courage of a few who feared God and their counsel (Jeremiah 36:25), Note God’s action in Jeremiah 36:26b. He decides on when to shield us from pain or let us go through it. Jeremiah remained faithful to the message he was assigned to deliver. How do we respond to the challenges that arise to test our commitment to the truth that has been handed over to us (Jude 1:3)?
