Boomerang Effect

Jeremiah 38:19

19 King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have gone over to the Babylonians, for the Babylonians may hand me over to them and they will mistreat me.”

Did you know that what you do comes back to you? Zedekiah had been placed as the ruler of Judah by Babylon when they took over. During that period of time Zedekiah mistreated people. He thought that as long as Babylon had made him king he was safe. But what he didn't know was that it was only a matter of time before Babylon turned on him. He then inquired of Jeremiah, the man of God he sought to have his officials kill because he tried to tell him what he was doing was not right in God's eyes. Jeremiah assured Zedekiah that as long as he gave the Babylonians what they wanted, which was him and all his possessions, then he would be fine. If he fought the Babylonians then he would lose far greater than he imagined. Zedekiah feared that his mistreatment of the Jews would be returned to him. He was already getting back what he done to the Jews, just not in the format he feared. He even had to seek the advise of the man he didn't want to listen to previously.

Like Zedekiah, most people innately know the difference between right and wrong. And if what you are saying/doing or about to say/do to someone feels wrong in the gut, then it is. But what most don't think about is that it will always come back in some way shape or form like a boomerang just not always in the same format. Like Zedekiah's situation, God always rectifies or vindicates those mistreated whether in this life or the after. Have you had to live out a boomerang effect like Zedekiah or is yours yet to come? Have you yet to be vindicated? You may not be present when God issues the vindication but know that it will come.

Watch what you do. Like Zedekiah, God's boomerang is always in effect.
