"The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth. Let him sit alone and keep silent, because God has …
Jeremiah has been lamenting the tragedies of the conquering hordes of Babylon, the captivity of Judah, the fall of Jerusalem - including the temple and the wall of the City; the famine of the people which led to unspeakable acts in order for some to eat. Yet, in the midst of his grief, and sorrow …
It seems that, sometimes at least, we; yes even Christians, put terrible events and tragedies up to chance. Chance says that these things just happen. I must admit that this troubles me, but I think it troubles me more to believe that these things happen by mere chance; when they cannot be chance. Looking today …
There may be some; maybe many who profess to know God and say something like, "God does not get angry..." I have heard some say, "Jesus never got angry"; and that statement completely shows their ignorance. Does God get angry? For those who love Jesus; does Jesus, did Jesus ever get angry? Well let us …
No one today likes to talk about judgment or affliction. I do not like talking about it, preaching about it, and I really get no joy from reading Jeremiah; or any of the prophets; or preaching their writings and prophecies of darkness and gloom; but I must not neglect the counsel of the LORD. The …
Do you have troubles, or is your life without any kind of trouble? Is that a silly question? Probably so. Everyone has their own share of trouble, heart ache, pain, sorrow, and grief. If not right now; sometime, and probably soon. Jerusalem was overthrown, Jeremiah the prophet which wept for the city and the people, …
We have been looking at the prophecy of Jeremiah for the month of September, but today we get into the Laments of Jeremiah. There are many laments in the prophecy, yet this book of the Bible we begin looking at today are of his sorrow as he saw the word of God fulfilled. The grief …
I guess this is a thing that I have got onto as I have read and studied Jeremiah's prophecy. That there are too many people who profess Christianity who are only open to hearing the "good" promises of God. Does anyone want to hear the words of "Promise" which purpose to judge the wicked; to …
Do you find yourself to be a sinner? Have you sinned against God? There are some who would answer "No" to both of those questions. Sadly, though, there is no salvation for such a person. It is possible however for one to experience deliverance from iniquity, forgiveness of sin. Hear the prophet Jeremiah speak the …
“Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness. For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. And the plunderer shall come against every city; no one shall escape. The valley …
Nobody likes adversity. Troubles are not pleasant no matter how large or small they are; well; trouble, pain, sorrow. The problem is many of our troubles we bring on ourselves; especially when we willfully violate the law, will and word of God. Are you presently experiencing trouble, trial, sorrow, pain and grief in your life? …
Before we get to the verses for the day let us consider what has led up to this point. Jerusalem has fallen, the temple destroyed, the poor of the land, along with the prophet Jeremiah have been left in the land by Nebuzaradan (39:11-18). The people have come to Jeremiah asking him to pray to …
It is a shame to the people of God to miss out on the fulfillment of Scripture (the Word of God) when it is happening under their noses; and they do not even recognize it. That happened with the religious leaders of Judah. That was the people to whom Jeremiah was preaching. They refused to …
Continue reading When the LORD Brings to Pass What He Has Said
You are a Christian; have you ever felt like God does not speak to you? I think I may know why; and if you are willing to hear continue reading this post. I think for some it may be enlightening; and for others old news. I want us first to consider this passage from the …
"And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts and done according to all that he commanded you, therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Jonadab …
