PROCLAMATION
“I will make an everlasting covenant with them; I will
never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear Me, so that they
will never turn away from Me.” Jeremiah
32:40 (NIV)
EXPLANATION
These are the words of The Lord God which were spoken to the prophet Jeremiah and proclaimed to the people of Judah. The Lord God stated that in the future houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this now desolate land. (Jeremiah 32:15) Jeremiah prophesied this while he was confined to the courtyard of the prison where Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him because of his prophecies. (Jeremiah 32:1-3) The word of The Lord came to Jeremiah again saying that the city would fall into the hands of the Babylonians. They would attack the city and burn it down. (Jeremiah 32:26-29) The Lord God repeated that the people of Israel had repeatedly turned away from Him and worshiped idols, and He was going to punish them for it. (Jeremiah 32:30-36) Then He said afterwards, He would bring them back to their homeland. (Jeremiah 32:37-44)

APPLICATION
The Lord God is a God of justice, and He is also a God
of mercy. He may punish us, but He will
still protect us and provide for us. Just
because He spanks us does not mean that He does not love us. In fact, He disciplines those that He loves.
(Proverbs 3:12) We will always have His
goodness and mercy. (Psalm 23:6) He
actually enjoys doing good for us. (Jeremiah 32:41) Our troubles and bad times are only
temporary. (Psalm 30:5) So, keep the
faith and don’t lose hope, joy is coming.
God promises that He will never stop doing good to us.
