Jeremiah 47 - Day 696 (link to reading)
Scripture: Jeremiah 47:1-5 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): The judgments of God are not meaningless whims where He suddenly decides to make a move. They’re not based on any prejudice or revenge. God who has always been just and fair, moves when His timing is right. More on point, He has always given opportunities for repentance or the heart to be turned to Him. Although God chose Israel to be His people, His love transcends all people groups and greatly desires every tribe and nation, world leader and peasant to come to Him. That said, as we have read and know to be true, He will not tolerate sin. Yes, He will go to unbelievable means to reach us, but there does come a point where the judgment falls. This was not His desire nor has it ever been. God so desires for salvation to be granted rather than His wrath. Application: The "greater" has power over the "lessor", but that doesn't stop us from judging them. What would you do if you were God? Think about it. How would you handle all the evil, injustice, and corruption in the world? Would you be as merciful as YHWH? Prayer: Thank You Lord... Comments are closed.
