Jeremiah 33:1-9
Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
4 “For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against the siege mounds and the sword: 5 ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in My anger and My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city. 6 Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. 8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’
It's time to give up our lives, so we can find our ordained lives. Verses 2-3 says, "the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." The time is now to drop everything and run to our God. God who has a hope and a dream to prosper us, to give us peace of mind and a love to end all doubt. We have been formed from dust and the breath of life has been blown into us to serve the Lord, a king who has our best interest at heart. We can't go on using His blood that runs through us to form our own dynasties when one has already been set in place that cannot fall. We've become short tempered, frustrated and irritated by how life has turned out for the most. And, by having no real proper training from our parents in how to interact with each other in God's world. We need to humble ourselves and train in the word of God to move mountains. We must learn how to speak right, talk right and interact with God's universe in a Godlike manner. God asks us to take on the mind of Christ. Imitate Him as He imitates Father God. We haven't the mind or the strength to bring peace to our world as it is necessary at this time. If we'll begin to admit our faults, shortcomings and deadly actions we inflict upon one another and ourselves, God is just to forgive us and take us behind the scenes to show us how His world operates. Believe me, He is here and He is at work, making all who defile His name and word Jesus Christ's footstool. Come out from under the weight and give Him glory.
Blessings to all as we give Him glory in mind, body, and speech,
