TOPIC: A National Lamentation
TEXT: Jeremiah 4:19 -31(NKJV)
STUDY: God through Jeremiah, lamented about the condition of his nation and today is bringing an outcry against the whole world. The passage x-rays the occurrences of today in almost all parts of the world. All these cause much pain/sorrow in the heart of God as we see in verse 19 which talks of the alarm of war.
Today, the things that cause God pain/sorrow include our sins, rebellion, disobedience, abominations and desolations in high and low places including in the household of God. In Genesis 6:3, God declared “My spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh, yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
This declaration led to the destruction of the first world. The sound of Jesus’ return is very audible. The end time is around the corner. This is marked by wars and rumours of war, destruction, plundering, violence, terrorism, kidnapping, and many more signs. Peace generally is lacking in the world today. In the face of this, Jesus is our solace.
The issues above arise from the condition of the heart. To curb them, Paul enjoined us in Philippians 4:8-9 to think on the eight virtues mentioned. From Matthew 11:28-30, we see that only in Jesus can one find rest for his soul. Let us not leave God in pain or sorrow of heart by refusing to change our ways.
PRAYER: Lord, give me peace in the face of terrorism and violence today. Let the peace that passes all understanding be my portion today.
