Jeremiah 27

A word that was repeated several times in this chapter is "restoration". What does that mean to you? 

To me it's allowing the Spirit to continuously transform all areas of my life so that I can continue my journey of becoming righteous and fully restored in the image of God.

Jeremiah 25 & 26

Jeremiah is prophesying to the people of Judah but they're not listening and continue to do wrong things against God. However, Jeremiah is persistent and he still continues to reach out to them with the word of God. 

Are we persistent in sharing the knowledge of God? Are you affected at all when you see peers do things that are not in accordance with God's way? This is an extension of how we believe the Gospel needs to be urgent.

Jeremiah 24

This was a short chapter that only spoke of the analogy of good figs and bad figs. Good figs are those who follow the Lord, believe and trust in Him, but also included people who would one day turn to God with their heart. Bad figs were those who will never seek God and will forever be in darkness. We're blessed to be called a good fig. Something as simple of truth as that is also the hardest to grasp in our hearts.

Jeremiah 23

How certain are you about the decisions that you've made? Did God play a part in the process? Were you thinking of God when you made your decision? God always is the correct and wise council for everyone. He will make your paths straight... the question is: do you let God do just that?

Jeremiah 23:18
For who among them has stood in the council of the Lord to see and to hear his word, or who pas paid attention to his word and listened?

Jeremiah 22

Jeremiah 22:3
Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. 

These describe what we want to see when we go out on missions, whether it's locally or internationally. When we are able to do these very things, the people there will get a glimpse of what our Glorious Father is like. He cares and loves them. He will let no harm come to them. Praying for my dear sister in Christ who is about to go on missions to India. May God continue to guide her and the team as they witness to the unreached there.
