Jeremiah 50
Finally some good news!!! The people of Israel will seek the Lord their God...they will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. Then they will come and bind themselves to the Lord. Amen. And Babylon will be destroyed...reminding all that God can and will use whatever means He has too in order for us to worship Him. He used Babylon to discipline the Israelites, which Habakkuk says that there was no way that a Holy God like Him could do that, but God is God and we are not. And He did use them, only to remind us that He is also over them. Thus, God is over all things. ALL. So let's just make a decision right now to turn our faces to Jesus. Let's come to Jesus and bind ourselves to Him...no matter what. My kids have me listening to christian rap...haha, but there is a song about persecution by a guy named Flame...Flame. But at the end of the song are two great lines:
"no matter how we are suffering, no matter how we are persecuted...our identity is not based on what is happening to us right now. Our identity is seated at the right hand of God and He is feeling just fine. He has promised us in the short term - The Cross on our backs; He has promised us in the long term - The Crown of life" Let's bind ourselves to Jesus!
