God Delivers & Redeems Us
Babylon the last and greatest enemy
of Judah will suffer the same fate
as the rest of Judah’s ungodly
neighbours. Jeremiah concludes
his prophecy with a note of hope.
Though Jerusalem has fallen, her
king Jehoiachin, is shown kindnes
in Babylon. In the restoration
of this covenant-breaking king,
Jeremiah pictures the future
restoration of covenant-breaking
Judah by her covenant-keeping God.
Lord, we Seek Your Deliverance:
The Lord spoke by Jeremiah the
prophet: Babylon is taken, out of the
north,a nation comes up against her.
Then the people of Israel & Judah
will join together… seeking the Lord
their God. They will ask the way
to Jerusalem and will start back
home again. They will bind
themselves to the Lord with an
eternal covenant that will never
again be broken (Jer 50:1-5).
In those days, says the LORD,
no sin will be found in Israel
or in Judah, for I will forgive
the remnant I preserve (v20).
The children of Israel were oppressed,
along with the children of Judah…
Their Redeemer Is Strong… He Will
thoroughly Plead their case (v33-34)
Lord, we may encounter brokenness
in our life: broken relationships,
broken promises and expectations.
Help us to live with that brokenness
without becoming bitter & resentful.
Draw us Lord to Your presence
in season of trial, so that we will
not be consumed by our struggle.
Let us know there is an end before
experiencing the deliverance. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thank You for forgiveness
and remembering our sins no more.
Thank You for the gift of freedom
You bought for us on the cross.
Guard my steps and thoughts
from places that will ensnare me.
Realise Lord I never find freedom
from bondage in independence
but find it only by abiding in You.
Help me do that & use me to help
others in Your freedom. Amen.
Father God, thank You for loving
us and for caring for our welfare.
As our Redeemer, You are strong,
for are also Lord God Almighty and 
You made the earth by Your power.
In our challenges, we can come to
You, and surely You will hear our case.
For when oceans rise & thunders roar,
I will soar with You above the storm.
Father You are King over the flood,
I will be still, know You’re God. Amen.
