—Jeremiah 23:1-8
by: Paula Davis.
Even in the time of Jeremiah, the days were evil. God’s people were scattered and mistreated for their faith. As we look around us today, we find that still to be the case. Matthew 18:20 promises that where two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord, He will be there with them. Jeremiah assured the Israelites that those who had misled God’s people would be punished and His faithful followers would be brought back to a place of great reward. We find in this a promise of a great future for us as well with the coming Messiah. It will be a future more magnificent than we can imagine! It is an incredible promise to cling to, knowing our God is faithful.
