Sat.’s Devo - Restoration

Read: Jeremiah 30-31
God spoke of the day when in their captivity they would cry out to Him to save them. They will have to reap what they have sown but after a while God promised to restore them and heal them. When God foretells of judgment he always talks about restoration afterward. We see the lovingkindness of a father that has to discipline his children but ultimately wants the best for them. He would rather be blessing them than tearing down. We are in the midst of God’s judgment but we can look forward to the time when his wrath will be turned away and he will once again bless us.
In that day, God will write a new covenant with his people. He will write his law in our inward parts and write it on our hearts. We will be his people and he will be our god. We will all know him and he will forgive us our sins and rebuild our walls and establish us as a people just like he will in Israel.
Lord thank you for your lovingkindness that draws us to You. Cause us to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way and not stumble because we are your children.
