Jeremiah 45 contains a message directed to Baruque, the scribe of Jeremiah, amid the crisis and suffering that the people of Judah was facing. Baruke was discouraged and discouraged, and God instructs him not to seek great things for himself, but to trust divine protection during that difficult period. The verses related to the themes of this chapter are:
Psalm 55:22: "Throw your burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you; it will never allow the righteous to be shaken." Just as God encouraged Baruke to trust his protection, this verse also encourages the faithful to deposit their concerns and burdens before God, for He is able to support them.
Matthew 6:25-34: In this passage, Jesus encourages his followers not to worry about the future, but to trust divine providence to meet his needs. This relates to the advice that God has given Baruque, not to look for great things for himself, but to trust God.
Philippians 4:6-7: "You are not restless for anything; before, your petitions are all known before God, prayer and supplications, with thanksgiving. And the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding,, will keep your hearts and your feelings in Christ Jesus. " This verse encourages Christians not to be anxious but to present their concerns to God through prayer, and thus experience the peace that only He can offer.
Psalm 46:1-3: "God is our refuge and fortress, very present help in anguish. Therefore we will not fear, even if the earth moves, and even if the hills are transported to the midst of the seas; even if Waters run and are disturbed, even though the hills are shaken by their braveness. " This psalm expresses confidence in God as our refuge and protection in the midst of difficulties.
Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things contribute together to the good of those who love God, those who are called according to their purpose." This verse expresses the confidence that God is able to work all things for the good of those who love and trust Him, even in the midst of difficulties and afflictions.
