Jeremiah 32, Jeremiah Series
One of the most quoted texts of Scripture is Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Yet, we can struggle with this idea, especially when everything we see, hear and experience difficulties, pain, and loss; it seems God is telling us to trust Him in that season of darkness. Jeremiah had been prophesying God’s upcoming message of disaster upon the nation for years, and now it was taking place. The Babylonians were outside the city walls with their siege ramps. Jeremiah is a prisoner in the king’s prison. His words were seen as unpatriotic or, worse treasonous. F. B. Huey states: “Jeremiah probably was kept under arrest because his calls for surrender were demoralizing the will of the people to resist the enemy.”
Then God says something so unexpected that it causes Jeremiah to wonder what it means. He needed a word of reassurance. While imprisoned, he is told that his uncle is coming to sell a piece of property, and Jeremiah is to buy it. God is giving a prophetic picture to reassure the people that they will return to the land one day.
