The Call of Jeremiah
Gods Not Dead!
Please join us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in
approximately three years.
“14 I
press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in
Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
Jeremiah
Overview; “Jeremiah was a
priest, a native of Anathoth, in the tribe of Benjamin. He was called to the prophetic
office when very young, about seventy years after the death of Isaiah, and
exercised it for about forty years with great faithfulness, till the sins of
the Jewish nation came to their full measure and destruction followed. The
prophecies of Jeremiah do not stand as they were delivered... The general
subject of his prophecies is the idolatry and other sins of the Jews; the
judgments by which they were threatened, with references to their future
restoration and deliverance, and promises of the Messiah. They are remarkable
for plain and faithful reproofs, affectionate expostulations, and awful
warnings.” - Matthew Henry Concise
Jeremiah Chapter 1, “Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office. (1-10) A vision of
an almond-tree and of a seething-pot, Divine protection is promised. (11-19)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Jeremiah Chapter 1. God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet (see Jeremiah
1:1-10) to the Jews as wells as the neighboring nations.
God shows Jeremiah the destruction of
Judah and Jerusalem for they sinned by (see Jeremiah 1:11-19) denying God’s glory. God avows His judgment, for they forsook the
Lord. “18 And I, behold, I make you this
day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the
whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the
people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but
they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares
the Lord, to deliver you.”“ Jeremiah 1:18-19 English
Standard Versions (ESV). God has plans for everyone who repents and
(see 1 John
1:9) asks
forgiveness in the name of Jesus. “16 Rejoice always, 17
pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV. No matter how God uses you or what Jesus provides (see
Philippians 4:11-13); stay faithful because the Lord strengthens you.
