Scripture
2 Chronicles 36:21
So the message of the Lord spoken through Jeremiah was fulfilled. The land finally enjoyed its Sabbath rest, lying desolate until the seventy years were fulfilled, just as the prophet had said.
Observation
The pronouncement of judgement that Jerry had foretold finally took place. It was a terrible time for the Jews. However, an interesting comment about the land is found here. Finally enjoyed. It's as though the land, the earth, creation had been paying a penalty for their sin. It seems to be a theme in scripture. I don't think this is just poetic. There really is something here.
Application
Somehow I think first nations get this, a connection to the land. I think the best application for me is to get outside into nature, and be a good steward of our planet. I don't know if it was that we were taken from the dust, and I don't want to get goofy about it, but I wonder.
Prayer
Lord, please help me to be a good steward of our planet.
