The Catastrophe of the Lord
Scripture Jeremiah 19:3 and say, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will bring such a catastrophe on this place, that whoever hears of it, his ears will tingle.
Observation: Jeremiah was prophesying about Israel, but those words can be true for America today. We have made false idols and blasphemed the name of the Lord and deserve His judgement. I know God is long suffering but He must be coming to the end of His patience for us. I know the end is coming and we deserve the catastrophe that will eventually come.
Application: I need to be ready when my Lord returns. He needs to find me busy doing His will and directing others to Him. This is no time to sit back and just wait but it’s time to fulfill God’s plan for my life.
Prayer Help me Lord for Your servant is weak. Please give me the strength to finish the good work You begun in me. Grant me success as I meet others in Your name.
