Sun.’s Devo - God is Always Right

Read: Jer. 19:1-21:14; 1 Thes. 5:4-28; Ps. 82:1-8; Pr. 25:1-23:20 Jeremiah consistently prophesied destruction of Jerusalem because they had turned from God to worship idols. When God told him to go to the court of the temple and prophesy judgment on the city the governor and false prophet, Pashur struck him and threw him in prison. When he came to get Jeremiah the next day Jeremiah told him his name was not to be called Pashur but Magor-missabib. Pashur means liberation and Magor-missabib means terror from all around, because that is what was going to happen when their enemies come against them. Jeremiah told him that he and all his family would be taken to Babylon as captives. King Zedekiah asked Pashur to ask the Lord what was going to happen to them because Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had come to make war with them. Jeremiah told them to tell King Zedekiah that they would lose because God would fight against them. Paul gives us some commandments that should be meditated on. Rejoice evermore. If we did that we would never be anxious or depressed. Pray without ceasing. This may seem impossible but if we seek the Lord and run after Him we will find ourselves praying all the time and not even realizing we are doing it. In EVERYTHING give thanks! When we get that God is in control then we can thank Him for everything because we know it is working a good work in us for our good. Quench not the spirit. Don’t do anything to offend the Holy Spirit in your life. Despise not prophesying. I think the only people who would do this is people who don’t understand the prophetic. Those who do, love prophesying. The list goes on. You might want to meditate on all of them. Lord, I pray that the very God of peace will sanctify us wholly and that our whole spirit, soul, and body will be preserved blameless until the coming of Jesus.
