The scriptures. May God bless the reading of His holy word.

“What You said has happened, as You now see. And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, You, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field with silver and have the transaction witnessed.’”

Jeremiah 32:24b-25

This ends today’s reading from God's holy word. Thanks be to God.

Today is the final devotion in a nine devotion series on reasons we should praise God. If you have been following the series, you know we have been looking at words spoken by God’s prophet, Jeremiah, as captured in the book of the Bible that bears his name.

In Part 9, we find a fitting culmination to all we have learned and are reminded of one amazing quality of God that should leave us all reassured and confident as we live this thing called life in faith. Look again at the scripture for today:

“What You said has happened, as You now see. And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, You, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field with silver and have the transaction witnessed.’” Jeremiah 32:24b-25

God had foretold that judgment was coming on His people in Judah and Jerusalem as a penalty for their sinful worship of false gods and idols. He promised them that they would be attacked by the Babylonians, led by King Nebuchadnezzar, and after their land was completely destroyed and left in ruins, they would be hauled away into seventy years of captivity. The forewarning from God was delivered by none other than Jeremiah and as time progressed, the people of Judah and Jerusalem would learn that God always does what He says He will do. He never breaks His word and always fulfills His promises.

So when you are going through difficult times, remember that the Lord said this:

I will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8

I will be your very present help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

I am always working things out for the good of those who love Me. Romans 8:28

You can do all things through My strength. Philippians 4:13

Through Me, all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

He will meet our needs. Philippians 4:19

He will save us through belief in His Son Jesus. John 3:16

Of course, you could go on and on and on while revealing the promises that God made with His people but the focal point here isn’t on the statistics regarding God’s promises but rather the perfect way He has carried them out through the ages.

When God says He will do something or proclaims something will happen, rest assured it will occur. It was true in the days of Jeremiah and it remains true now as it will forever. In the end translation, there is no one else we can perfectly trust like God.

Praise Him for that today and every day He blesses you with.

Amen.

In Christ,

Mark
