2 Chronicles 36:15-21
GIVEN INTO THE ENEMY'S HANDS
And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon .... 2 Chronicles 36:20, KJV
One of the worst things that can happen to any person is to find him/herself at the mercy of his/her enemy. In today's text, it was God Himself who handed Israel over to their enemies to be tormented.
Verses 15 and 16 tell us that God sent His messengers to warn them but they mocked them and despised God's Words. This kindled the wrath of God and God raised an enemy in person of Nebuchadnezzar who came and took them into exile and vandalised the city of Jerusalem.
We should be careful how we live. Failure to do so can bring trouble upon us. Disobedience to God is the opportunity the enemy uses to get an in-road into our lives. The reason some Christians have become mince-meat in the devil's hand is disobedience. As a result, they seek serious deliverance.
Beloved, the devil will always lurk around for disobedient children of God because he knows that such do not have the protection of God. So beware!

Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of. They just turn up some of the ill weeds on the surface. – Charles Spurgeon
