King Zedekiah calls Jeremiah again to ask about God's will.
Jeremiah's message remains the same. If king Zedekiah would surrender to the Babylonians then his life will be spared but if he does not, his life and the city of Jerusalem will fall.
King Zedekiah knew about this particular will of God but was hesitant to obey to it beacuse of the fear of being shamed in front of all the people of Jerusalem.
When we are at the fork in the road, even if we cannot understand God's will with all the knowledges and experiences we have, it is a life of success and the road in which we should life to choose to obey God wholeheartedly.
Passage to read: Jeremiah 38:14-28
14 Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and had him brought to the third entrance to the temple of the LORD. “I am going to ask you something,” the king said to Jeremiah. “Do not hide anything from me.”
15 Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I give you an answer, will you not kill me? Even if I did give you counsel, you would not listen to me.”
16 But King Zedekiah swore this oath secretly to Jeremiah: “As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us breath, I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who want to kill you.”
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, your life will be spared and this city will not be burned down; you and your family will live.
