Jeremiah 25
The Lord sent many of his servants (v4) to deliver this message to the Israelites who had turned away from God. Yet they did not listen (v7). God is extremely patient with us, full of grace and mercy, slow to anger and abounding in love, yet He does NOT have unlimited patience.
What is great is that we DO have a God who sent His Son to drink from the same cup of wrath taken by others before Him such as those who did so as described here in Jeremiah 25 and elsewhere in the Bible.
We all have earthly fathers we love but we none of us have an earthly father who can do what Jesus did for us at the cross.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God - You have done for me what no earthly father can or could ever do. Thank You Jesus. Thank You for my earthly father and thank You for being so full of grace, mercy, and love for me. I am not worthy of such love. I miss the mark daily. Please forgive me 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. Please 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.
Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you. v5-6
