The Message of Jeremiah

 Scripture:

“You will be humiliated in the eyes of other nations. Then you will know that I, the Lord God, have done these things.”  Ezekiel‬ ‭22‬:‭16‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

As I read through Jeremiah once again, it jumps out to me that God continually speaks through the prophet  explaining how He was going to destroy His people so that they would realize what they were doing and turn to Him. God took credit for some terrible things. He said He would humiliate His people because of their sins, then people who know He had done these things. 

Application;

Sometimes God uses nations as examples of walking with Him. God raises up and tears down nations and leaders. He is always working in and through nations. He blesses nations that honor Him and He allows trouble for the nations that won’t honor Him. The message of Jeremiah, and the message to us is, turn back to God and He will hear you and restore You, but you must repent and turn to Him with all your heart.

Prayer:

Father, turn the United States around. Work in this nation Lord. We have repented for years and humbled ourselves as Your body. The nation continues to go astray farther and farther, yet there is a righteous remnant. Work through Your remnant to bring revival and awakening back to this country. Turn the hearts of this nation back to You Lord.

Yours,

Jeff
