Psalm 124: What God Can Do For You

How many times has God been His people's Deliverer?

Jeremiah 33: Looking Beyond The Now

Something that any person of faith must be able to do is look beyond the now and see what God may be up to.  Jeremiah gives us a wonderful example of this capacity.

Jeremiah 32: Buy Low...

Jeremiah receives an intriguing direction from the Lord in chapter 32: Buy a field in Anathoth while the capital city of Jerusalem is under siege and about to fall to the Babylonian army.

Jeremiah 31: A Look Ahead

Prophets do not necessarily predict the future.  Generally speaking, a prophet is one who relays a message from God.  Such a message may or may not be about the future.  In chapter 31, Jeremiah has a lot to say about the future of God's people.

Jeremiah 30: A Glimmer Of Hope

Jeremiah is regarded as "the weeping prophet," and for good reason.  He was repeatedly called upon to proclaim his nation's defeat and destruction.  But the good news is that this messenger of gloom and doom was also given a powerful hope-filled message to share in the midst of his negative utterances.  Chapter 30 talks about what comes after the painful defeat by Babylon and national exile - that there will be a time of restoration!

Jeremiah 29: Bloom Where You're Planted

"Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce.  Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease" (vs. 4-6).

Psalm 123: Eyes Up Here

Have you ever considered how important your gaze is?  Where we set our eyes has a huge impact on the direction we are headed.
