Bread Crumbs “Great Faithfulness” July 7
The landscape of Jerusalem after Nebuchadnezzar's final siege must have mirrored the appearance of a devastated moonscape instead of the fruitful ground that the City of Zion was intended to be. The Jewish people had left the ways of God and despite the cries and warnings of a prophet like Jeremiah, they had refused to leave their idolatrous ways. As a result, destruction and captivity was the consummation of their rebellion. Looking over the devastation, Jeremiah wept. In our lives, when we fail to follow the Word of God and when we fail to heed the warnings given by true men or women who know the mind of God, our lives can look as ruined to us as Jerusalem must have to Jeremiah. However, the Lord is not without mercy and He is ready and willing to forgive and restore all those who will repent and turn to Him with all of their heart. Despite the damage done, which seems irreparable, God is still able to turn the curse into a blessing. The question that only you can answer is, despite the glaring evidence of your failure, will you dare to believe that God can forgive and restore! I say, He can!
Lamentations 3:21-23 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. (22) It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. (23) They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
