Scripture:
Jeremiah 51:5 "For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the Lord Almighty, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel".
Observation:
Jeremiah is speaking forth a prophetic word against Babylon, letting them know that God used them to bring about punishment for His people, but that now they were going to be judged and Israel and Judah would be restored. God says here that, even though the land is full of guilt, they have not been forsaken by their God. God knew the guilt of the people of Israel and Judah, but He also would not forsake them.
Application:
God says He will never leave us nor forsake us. Sometimes, when we do wrong, we tend to feel like God has forsaken us and will never hear our prayers again. God is a merciful God who doesn't hold our past mistakes against us. Though, at times, we know we are guilty, He does not forsake us. His desire is for His people to walk with Him and listen to His voice, but even when we mess up, He is faithful!
Prayer:
Father, thank you for showing me Your unfailing love. You are incredible! Help me to love the way You love. Help me to represent You better each day. Thank You for loving be when I feel like I have messed up horribly.
Your Son,
Jeff
