TODAY’S TOPIC: God's promise suffers no shame
Text: Jeremiah 11:6-23 (NIV):
"11:16. The LORD called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.
11:17. The LORD Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done evil and provoked me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
11:18. Because the LORD revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing.
11:19. I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree and its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more."
11:20. But, O LORD Almighty, you who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you I have committed my cause.
11:21. "Therefore this is what the LORD says about the men of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD or you will die by our hands'--
11:22. therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
11:23. Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth in the year of their punishment."
SHOWER (Reflection):
God's promise suffers no shame. It is devine and comes with enjoyment, favour and everlasting joy. In this season of commemoration of His death and resurrection, I want to charge us not to be deterred or fear over whatever happenings around us. You can see from today's reading, that God does not forget. Once He sets to do a thing, He does it in a way that is amazing. If He decided to fight for you as He did for Jeremiah today, you will only but marvelled. So seek Him, keep His promise and ask for His divine intervention always.
