“The days are coming when I will raise up a good branch in
David’s family … This will be His name: “The
Lord Does What Is Right”. God gave
Jeremiah a vision of two baskets of figs.
One basket had rotten figs – the then-current leadership of Judah – good
for nothing. The other basket
represented the exiles who would live in Babylon and one day return to the land.
My commentary said, “In times of national catastrophe, no
matter how discouraging the circumstances may be, God doesn’t desert His faithful remnant … true believers find God
faithful to meet their needs and accomplish His great plans. The people who returned to the land after the
captivity were by no means perfect, but they had learned to trust the true and living God and not to worship idols….
God the Potter would remake His people and they would return to the land chastened and cleaned.”
Father, I don’t know where we would go. Will You do the same here?
Will you preserve a remnant once more and then destroy everything we’ve
come to know because of our sinfulness as a nation? Our leaders are acting the same way as the
leaders in Jeremiah’s time. Will history
repeat itself yet again? Raise up that
good branch. Do what is right.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
