Text: Mark 11:22-24, Jeremiah 36-38
Review: A doubt in your heart is one that you put voice to. Luke 6:45 tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
In Jeremiah 36-38, we see how the prophet has Baruch, the scribe, write his prophecies against Judah on a scroll. Baruch reads it to the people and elders. The elders tell the king about it, and it is read to him. As each portion is read, the king takes a knife, cuts it off, and throws it into the fire.
When Jeremiah finds out, he has Baruch re-write the prophecies and makes additions. He tells everyone who will listen not to believe the Babylonians will leave them alone or that Egypt will protect them. They have two choices: 1) Go out and surrender to the Babylonians or 2) Stay in the city and die. The city would be burned and its inhabitants killed.
While they proclaimed with their mouths that the city would be safe, their disobedience to the Lord over-rode their faith. We all know about the law of gravity, but we also know the laws of lift and thrust can override gravity. Similarly, direct disobedience to the Lord will override our faith.
