"Zedekiah’s Question"

Over the  years I have been a homiletical pack-rat, collecting articles, stories, and anything else that I know “might preach.” I am starting to clean house in my office and in the process I came across this piece that I had tucked away in one of my old Bibles. I am glad I found it so I can share it with you!

I hope you will keep these little verse of scripture handy. There may be a time, now or in the future, when you ask the question Zedekiah asked Jeremiah long ago , “ Is there any word from the Lord?”  -Jeremiah 37:17-
