Day 223: Jeremiah 14-17

Today on Meditating the Word, Jeremiah prophesies drought, famine and sword, the day of disaster, and the importance of keeping the Sabbath holy. 

This is Day 223. Today we are reading Jeremiah 14-17

Father God, You gave us a day of rest, You declared it holy. Yet even today -- especially today -- Your people do not rest. We work ourselves to exhaustion for the things of this earth... temporary things that will not last... instead of entering into Your presence and finding rest and restoration for our souls. There is a blessing on those who trust not in the work of their own hands, but in You; those who put their confidence in You. Like a tree planted by the waters, spreading out its roots. Father, we won't fear when trouble comes, famine or recession. Your promise is that we won't cease yielding fruit. Just like Isaac, we will reap an abundant harvest in times of famine -- even 100 fold. Thank You, Father, for Your favor and blessing on our lives when we rest in You. Amen
