Tuesday
Read Jeremiah 23:1-6
How terrible will be the Lord’s judgement on those rulers who
destroy and scatter his people! 2This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the
rulers who were supposed to take care of his people: “You have not taken care
of my people; you have scattered them and driven them away. Now I am going to
punish you for the evil you have done. 3I will gather the rest of my
people from the countries where I have scattered them, and I will bring them
back to their homeland. They will have many children and increase in number. 4I
will appoint rulers to take care of them. My people will no longer be afraid or
terrified, and I will not punish them again.z I, the Lord, have spoken.”
5 The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will choose as king a
righteous descendant of David. That king will rule wisely and do what is right
and just throughout the land. 6When he is king, the people of Judah
will be safe, and the people of Israel will live in peace. He will be called
‘The Lord Our Salvation’.
Think
About 5 centuries before Jesus is born Jeremiah describes the kind of King
Jesus will be. He will be a good
shepherd.
Pray
No matter who reigns on Earth - Lord Jesus you reign in heaven. I trust in you as my King.
