Jeremiah 16
Jeremiah passes on a difficult message to the Israelites that God will punish them. However, once again God keeps His promises that a savior will rise from among Judah. All of us, whether at our day of judgement or at the end of times, will know Jesus as the King of Kings.
Yet we must also recognize of course that not all will recognize Jesus as their Lord and Savior and many will come to Jesus at different times in their life - God knows all of this. Just as Jesus demonstrates grace to Israelites time and time again, I must demonstrate grace.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who is SO forgiving of me. Thank You Jesus. I am not worth such love as I fail to be who You intend for me as I SO often miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
“Therefore I will teach them—this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is the Lord. v21

and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
