Jeremiah 22:1-3 (New Living Translation)
This is what the Lord said to me: “Go over and speak directly to the king of Judah. Say to him,2 ‘Listen to this message from the Lord, you king of Judah, sitting on David’s throne. Let your attendants and your people listen, too. 3 This is what the Lord says: Be fair-minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows. Stop murdering the innocent!
The LORD has a message for the king of Judah. What do you think it is?
Ensure the priests put the blood on the right thumb and the big toe of their right foot and their right ear lobe
Ensure the people bring exactly one tenth of their possessions
Post a lookout to see exactly when the sun sets to begin the Sabbath day
If you guessed any of the above, you were wrong. No, instead, the LORD wants the king of Judah to…(wait for this one)
Do what is right
Hmmm, think on that one a while. A person could do all sorts of things that would fall under that single task. I mean, I could spend all day doing what is right in many situations and not exhaust all those right-things-to-do. Maybe that is what the LORD wanted. Just do what is right.
