Thought for the Week: Jer 32

God Bigger Than Our Problems

God pledges to reestablish the
nation after it has been purified
by the discipline of exile. As a sign
of His promise, He orders Jeremiah
to buy a field that would soon belong
to the conquering Babylonians.
That land would one day become
part of the restored nation to be
ruled by the Righteous Branch,
David’s Messianic descendant.

Lord, You are Almighty & Good:
I prayed… saying: Ah Lord God!
Behold You have made the heavens
& the earth by Your great power and
outstretched arm. There is nothing
too hard for You (Jer 32:16-17).
Then the word of the Lord came
to Jeremiah saying: Behold, I’m the
Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there
anything too hard for Me (v26-27).
They will be My people and I will
be their God. And I will give them
one heart and one purpose: to
worship me forever… I will never
stop doing good for them (v38-40)

Lord, thank You that nothing
in my life is beyond Your reach.
Nothing is too large or difficult
for Your powerful hand at all.
Help me to remember that
You display Your power best in
impossible situations. Give me
greater understanding of who
You are so that my trust in You
will grow and be complete. Amen.

Lord, when my faith is shaky,
remind me of Your Almighty power.
Give me a fresh glimpse of who
You really are: You made heavens
and the earth and You made us.
Increase my faith O Lord, for
Nothing is impossible with You.
Supply the confidence I need
to believe fully in this truth
and promise, especially when
I’m facing hopeless situation. Amen

Lord, You are truly great, good
and always concern of our welfare;
and I purpose to always worship
You and move people towards You.
When things are going well in my
life, remind me not to accept praise
without giving You the glory or
at least point people toward You.
And when time is hard, remind me
that You God will make everything
good & beautiful in Your time. Amen.

Reflection on Jeremiah 21-52 (Sep 25)

Seeking God thru Biblical Prayers

The purpose of the prophetic book
of Jeremiah is to urge God’s people
to turn from their sins & back to God.
On Monday, we learn from Jer 23
that God Grants Us Righteousness.
On Tuesday, we learn from Jer 29
that God Has Good Plans For Us.
On Wed, we learn from Jeremiah 32
that God Bigger Than Our Problems.
On Thursday, we learn from Jer 33
that God Is Near & Grants Access.
On Friday, we learn from Jer 45
that God Will Guide Us Through.
On Saturday, we learn from Jer 50
that God Delivers & Redeems Us.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
to be disciples who yearn to be
in communion with You Lord and
purpose to trust You wholeheartedly;
for You are almighty, You justify us,
You will deliver us and You want
to bless us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
