Jehoiakim cut up the word of the LORD in no fear. his decision was disastrous, for him, his descendants, and all of Judah. Likewise today, there is no fear of God's Word in our culture. There is also insufficient fear of God, even in the American Church. We can look around our culture and we can see the results of so many people not heeding God's Word.
But we should not ever think that because we do heed God's Word that life will be a stroll in the park. Living for Christ brings its hardships from persecution - living counter culturally - along with the trouble that comes from living under the curse. Baruch complained about the persecution and God answered, "Should you then seek great things for yourself?"
