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 …

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 …
‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: ‘In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a Branch of righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness …
The prophets words, God's words have been judgmental, even harsh; however here we can get a glimpse of a brighter future, and of the bigger picture; the picture which God always has in view. This is a word of promise. When you think about it; what good is a promise if there are not moments …
Christians are citizens of two worlds. We are citizens of the nations in which we live, or not, because I know some are working; or visiting; in a foreign nation; and that could serve well with the point I want to make today. When citizens of one nation are in a foreign nation they must …
There are a lot of messengers in this old world. Everyone's opinion is as good as anybody else. That is what we are told, and as far as human opinion goes; that is based assumptions and pretense; then your opinion is as good as mine. However, when it comes to the truths of God's Word …
Yes! We are all for the present "Inhabitants of the earth", and we must make our living and life hear while we are here. This message, however, is to the one's whose hearts, souls, mind and strength is as inhabitants of the earth. They have no heart for God. They love this earth, and all …
“Am I a God near at hand,” says the LORD, “And not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD." Jeremiah 23:23-24 (NKJV) When these verses are read, we might ask the question; …
Let me first of all on this 11th day of September remind all to be in prayer for the people of Texas, Louisiana, and surrounding cities of Texas. Also pray for the people of the whole State of Florida. These States have been hit hard by natural disasters. Our verses for today are... “The heart …
"Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither He …
These post are about GOD; His love, and yes His hate. Maybe it would be nicer to say, His wrath. His wrath is what He pours out on what He hates. For His children He hates any sin that is in us. He hates my sin. He hates your sin. He is working in me …
“Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Every bottle shall be filled with wine.” ’ “And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every bottle will be filled with wine?’ “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will …
The title is a question many people down through human history have asked. Yes, I have as well. This was a question Jeremiah the prophet was asking in the text you will read in a moment.
