THE REV. JAMES
REDDOCH
St. Andrew's United Church
Bayfield
Scripture Reading:
Jeremiah Chapter 42.
'-- We are- living in days of
tension and unrest when more
and more people are
becoming subject to nervous
disorders .brought about by
living under ,the strain of
anxiety. Because of that, the
message which the prophet
Jeremiah had for the people
of his own day, is of value to
us today.
The situation was this.
Judea was an occupied
country. A protectorate of the
great Babylonian Empire.
The governor of Judea, who
had been appointed by the
king of Babylon, had been
assassinated, and the people
were waiting to see how the
Babylonians would react.
There were only a small
number of Jews left in Judea
and they turned to Jeremiah
for advice. What was God's
Will for them? Should they
stay' in Judea or flee for
refuge into Egypt? They had
an emergency religitth! They
turned to God only in a time of
crisis, and when it suited
their need.

Jeremiah's answer was, in
effect, "stay where you are
and face the situation -
remember you are God's
people - only trust Him". But
though they had asked his
advice, they had already,
made up their minds what
they would do. They said,
"We will go into the land of
Egypt where we shall see no
war, nor hear the sound of the
trumpet, nor have hunger of
bread, and there we will
dwell." That is not an unusual
reaction to difficult cir-
cumstances. "We will go into
Egypt" - everything will be
fine. We will avoid the
situation. We will run away
from things.
This tendency to escape is
seen in many areas of life and
experience. Yet God : 'is
saying, "Face up to the
situation with my hell)."
Jeremiah said, "And now
therefore hear the word of the
Lord, ye remnant of Judah;
thus .-saith..the . ,ard:;fzl.,Htsts►.
the God of Israel; if ye wholly
set your faces to enter into
Egypt and go to "sojourn
there • then it shall come.. to
pass,`hat the sword, which ye
feared, shall overtake you
there in the land of Egypt,
and the famine whereof ye
were afraid shall follow close
after you there in Egypt."
In other words s you cannot
run away from life! "You will
find in Egypt, says Jeremiaff,
all the problems you "left
behind in Judea!" In the
deepest ,sense this is always
true. Because we carry our
problems with us.
It is not the difficult
situation that is important in'
the long run; but the
character of the man or
siwoman Whit.
This_.fl C

shown in the parable Jesus
told' about the two houses.
One built on rock. The other
on sand. The storms came
and the wind blew and beat
upon both houses alikeolit was
the foundation that made the
difference whether the house
fell or not! Not the outward
circumstances.
We cannot escape from the
trials and testings of life by
going down to Egypt, as it
were. There are certain
circumstances in which God's
Will for us is "Stay and face
the situation with My help".
There are certain inevitable
things from `which, however
far we run, we cannot
run
away. Things which no
-amount of wor-ry-:or,:.ankiety,.:,
can alter. "Which of you, said
Jesus, can add a cubit to his
height by troubling about it".
We must face certain
trying, yet unavoidable
situations as part of God's
Will for us. Accepting them
whatever they may be.
" Somay wepray —
"Thy way, not mine, 0
Lord,
However dark it be!
Lead me by: Thine own
hand;
Choose out the path for
me."
