Please read Jeremiah 15.

Meditate on verse 16.

 

Your Words were found and I ate them,

and Your Words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart,

for I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.

 

As the people of Judah forsook God, they kept going backward. God grew tired of relenting on behalf of those living in unrelenting sin, so He declared their destiny: death, famine, captivity, anguish, and dismay (vs. 1-8).

Jeremiah did not forsake the LORD. God and His Word became the delight of Jeremiah’s heart (v. 16). God was pleased with Jeremiah and promised to save and deliver him from the hand of the wicked (vs. 20-21).

How would you describe your life; are you going backward or forward? Cling to God and devour His Word. When you do, you will experience His joy.

Pray Jeremiah 15:19-21 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, ________ and I want to return to You and be restored to You.

 Let us stand before You.  Help us to extract the precious from the worthless. 

Make us Your spokesmen.  Make us a fortified wall of bronze,

and though others may fight against us, do not let them prevail over us. 

Be with us to save us and deliver us. 

Deliver us from the hand of the wicked

and redeem us from the grasp of the violent.

For Your name’s sake, Jesus~”
