Text for the Day -- Jeremiah 50:17-20
----------
Israel is a hunted sheep driven away by lions. First the king of
Assyria devoured it, and now at the end King Nebuchadrezzar of
Babylon has gnawed its bones. Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel: I am going to punish the king of Babylon and his
land, as I punished the king of Assyria. I will restore Israel to its
pasture, and it shall feed on Carmel and in Bashan, and on the hills
of Ephraim and in Gilead its hunger shall be satisfied. In those days
and at that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be
sought, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and none
shall be found; for I will pardon the remnant that I have spared.
Devotional
----------
Israel is described as a flock of sheep, harassed and threatened by
many enemies. Jeremiah speaks a word from God that promises God's
renewal and protection. Like a good shepherd God does provide for his
flock. In the midst of your anxieties, troubles and suffering, look
to Jesus the Good Shepherd and his promise for help, healing and
heaven.
Prayer
---------------
Thank you, gracious God, for drawing close to me and caring for me
and so many others. Amen
