Fri.’s Devo - Hope

Read: Jeremiah 30:1-31:26; 1 Timothy 2:1-15; Psalm 87:1-7; Proverbs 25:18-19 Today’s reading is a message of hope. God promises to restore the fortunes of Israel and Judah. It was a time of terror, but it would not always be that way. In the end, they will be saved. God will break the yoke of bondage from their necks. They will no longer serve foreigners because God would give them a king from David’s line. *** They will return to their own land and live in peace and safety. God will destroy their enemies. Israel will be punished but for her own good. Then the tables will flip and those who devoured Israel would be devoured and Israel would become the attackers. *** What God is saying to Israel, he is saying to America at this time. He will restore our fortunes and we will rebuild our cities that have been destroyed by riots, fire, floods, and poverty. We will sing songs of joy and thanksgiving. Instead of depopulating us, we will grow again. Our children will prosper and we will be established as a nation, with our own leader. He will not be a globalist with some crazy agenda where we are subjects, not independent people. *** God will take out his vengeance on our captors until all he has planned is in place. God will be the God of his people and we will be blessed and find rest. We will happily dance and sing. We will open businesses and be able to provide for our families. *** God will not forget the disabled and the pregnant women. He will give them an easy path. They will return to their home where they will grow grain, wine and olive oil. Their sorrows will be gone. All their mourning will be turned to joy! *** We have gone through a tough time in our nation where our children have come home from college with marxist ideas, children have identified as animals, men and women have taken devastating drugs and undergone horrendous operations to transgender to a different sex, but God said the children will come back to us and to Him. There will be remorse for their sins, but God will comfort them and draw them to himself. People with differences will live together in peace. *** In Timothy, Paul tells Timothy to pray for everyone. Especially for leaders to lead us into peace and righteousness. Jesus is our mediator of peace and reconciliation who came at the perfect time. *** When we worship the Lord we need to be free from anger and controversy. *** The woman represents the Bride of Christ so she should be modest and be known for the good things she does. She should be a good listener who submits to others. She was the one who was deceived who led Adam to sin. We as the Bride sinned, so Jesus had to become sin for us to save us. *** Lord, may we be quiet and listen to your heart. May we be slow to speak and slow to get upset and react. May your peace comfort our souls.
