My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Jeremiah 30:10 , “So do not be afraid, Jacob my Servant, do not be dismayed, Israel, declares the Lord. I will surely save you out of a distant place , your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.”
The Messiah , who is the Lord God, was raised up to save the people , whom they should serve, and hence they had nothing to fear, from their enemies, nor had they any reason to doubt the salvation and deliverance, because so great a person (the Lord Jesus Christ ) was engaged for them. Through Prophet Jeremiah God comforts Jacob, not to be afraid, or dismayed. God promised Jacob not only to save him from Babylon, but also from far off countries, where they were dispersed east, west, north and south. God also assures Jacob to protect his descendants, from the land of their captivity. And God through prophet Jeremiah promises to extend peace to him after all the calamities that he had to go through in Babylon during captivity.
My dear brothers and sisters, Are you going through some kind of captivity. Are you facing trouble after trouble ? Are you in a tight corner situation not knowing how to go about with your problems. Well the Lord will deliver you as He delivered (Jacob or Israel )from his captivity. God is aware of your problems. He hears the cry of your supplication. The Bible says, Behold the eye of the Lord , is on those who fear Him. On those who hope in His mercy. The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Therefore serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Not only fear Him but also trust Him for blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. God says, “I am God and there is no other. I am God and there is none like Me. My counsel shall stand. And I will bring it to pass. I have purposed it and I will also do it”. Our God is a God who keeps His Promise. Rely on Him. He will save you from all your problems. Just Believe in Jesus.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we believe that you will restore your children from all their troubles that they are going through. Help them to come out of their captivity into which they have been entangled. Make them glad according to the days they have been afflicted. May peace be within their walls and prosperity within their palaces. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
