Lamentations 3 gives one of the most precious paragraphs in the Bible. Here Jeremiah puts aside the pain of great loss and meditates on the glory of God. Wherever you are today, let me encourage you to pause and be encouraged by these truths.

  We should not look at our circumstances to determine God's love. Where do we look? The stedfast character that He shows in His covenant mercy.

  Isaiah gives us the pathway to perfect peace of heart.

  God shares with Timothy how to be ready for the last days all through out the letter of 2 Timothy. Its a good one to read right from beginning to end. But a great little section in chapter three gives a description of end times and the way to be ready for them.

  I'd love to share a few times that Jesus appears in #Genesis . It seems like its about every chapter... Maybe not each chapter but nearly every chapter. This is one of the first ones. Consider in Genesis 3.

  This is a very important question. First of all, it speaks of God's majesty. But it also makes sense of all that we see logically. If everything we know has a cause, then something must have been a first cause... that first Cause is our Creator God. And He has no beginning of days. As the Psalmist says in our short today.

  I love illustrations. The Bible shares with us six things that are never satisfied... One is rain. Another we might add to the list from Scripture is our heart. So how can we be satisfied? Todays Psalm of the day shared that secret to satisfaction.

  Is money the root of all evil? Well, it can be, but what does the text actually say?

  How can we summarize the Bible in just a word? Jesus did just that. He shares a summary of the whole law... or at least its demands. And yet, in the Gospel it really summarizes all of the Bible. God's love for us and our response in love back to Him and all He has given to us.

  This prophecy had escaped my notice till this year going through the #Bible . As Jeremiah prophecies of Jesus about 600 years before He is born, he talks about a time of salvation when David's branch would come to bring justice on the earth... and salvation in Judah. And it would be called the Lord our righteousness... And this would be a time when shepherds once again keep their flocks in the hillside surrounding Jerusalem. This is why the angels came to announce Jesus' birth to the shepherds on the hillside of Bethlehem.

  Is there anything that God cannot do? Let's look at Jeremiah.

  The Lord gives so many great promises in the book of Jeremiah. In this one He shares His amazing love and how long it lasts.

  God has plans for us! That's one of the most famous #Bible verses in Jeremiah. What should we learn from this passage? Let's trust His plans!

The sun is an unimaginable source of power and is essential for our human living and thriving... And so it is a good illustration or similarity of what our God is to us. Consider how He is our sun and shield from this Psalm.

  I've been so encouraged by this prayer lately. And I hadn't read it this way before. Paul prays that the things their faith prompts would be granted God's power...

So many prophecies share how great God is in pre-publishing what He will do in our lives through Christ. These share not only that Jesus is the son of God... but that the Bible is supernatural. Let's look this one from Jeremiah. This portrays the Gospel as well as Jesus birth.

  There's much talk about the "end times" today... As we see different signs of Christ's return. And so, I'm asked about if there will be a rapture. Or I'm told that rapture is not in the Bible. Let's look at a verse and you decide.

  Yom Kippur is a holy day - day of covering or day of atonement. And although the goat's blood covered the sin, The Lamb of God's blood takes the penalty of sin forever.

  The Bible is very clear on how to get to God... and yet its not very well known. In fact the Bible uses that imagery. It says the broad way that leads to destruction is a very broad road. But the narrow way is the way to everlasting life. What is that way?

  Meditation can be a tricky thing... because it is used in religious practices of Buddhism and other Eastern religious. So Christian meditation is not that at all. It is not emptying our minds of everything... it is quite the opposite. It is filling our minds with the glory of God in His wonders and works. Let's follow the Psalmists example and find delight in Christian meditation.

  People will go to the stars to find what they should do in a day... but why not just turn to the God who made the stars? How do we do that?

  We should not be boastful. . . in fact, that pride is one thing that God hates! But there is something we can actually have as our boast - actually the Lord asks us to do so. Consider this verse in Jeremiah.

The old paths are best? True, because this one leads to soul rest. Consider the Lord's appeal from the book of Jeremiah.

  If someone tells you they will be there to help you that is comforting. If that person has no ability, its not that comforting. This is not the case with Jesus. As He promises to be with you, consider His ability today from Colossians.

  Jesus appears on the pages of Scripture throughout the Old Testament. In Jeremiah we find Him encouraging the young prophet when he is commissioning him. He appears and touches Jeremiah's lips.

  Why do the wicked prosper? That's a question that all of us have to wrestle with at one point or another in life. Of course not all wicked people do, but some who hate God seem to do very well in their CURRENT circumstances. So what do we think about that? Consider this Scripture.

Not only does Isaiah 53 predict the details of HIs death and HIs burial 700 years before His birth, it also predicts His resurrection. This is supernatural! Listen to Isaiah 53: Isaiah 53:12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
