There’s a New Day Comin’

There's a new day coming

Jer 30-32 In 1933, a song was published that must have encouraged our nation coming out of the Great Depression. It was called “A New Day is Coming.” Jeremiah was “singing” that tune long before this to the children of Israel as they sat waiting and watching the Babylonians build siege ramps outside the city walls. They were asking, can anything good come out of this? Jeremiah repeated the words of God: “…is there anything too hard for me?  “I am the Lord, the God of all humankind. There is, indeed, nothing too difficult for me.” [Jer 32:27] If I could create this world out of nothing, I can surely bring you back and replenish this land and My people. As the sun rises and sets, my Word will never pass away. [Matt 24:35] What I have said, I will do. [Is 38:7]

Why does He do that? It is because He has “loved you with an everlasting love. That is why [He] has continued to be faithful to you [Je 31:3] and because He is Father, and that’s what fathers do. [Jer 31:9]

Keep looking up; a new day is coming!

What God has said, He will do

In the darkness look up..

Is 13-15 There is hope…Keep Watching!

During Israel’s troubles, God sends Isaiah with a message of hope to the nation of Israel. They had been or were to be in bondage from Babylon due to their sins of complacency. God used Babylon to serve Him in disciplining them, but they went above and beyond what God had purposed. Yet, God, in His mercy, reaches down through his prophet to send a message of hope that the enemies of Babylon and Moab will be defeated. “The Lord will certainly have compassion on Jacob; he will again choose Israel as his special people and restore them to their land.”[Is 14:1]

When life throws a curve ball, and you feel defeated, keep looking to the One who controls the wind and waves. “He makes the winds his messengers and the flaming fire his attendant.” [Ps 104:4] He has spoken, and He has purposed.  He will avenge the wrongs, and the leader who boasted of great things will find his place in the dust, not on a throne of exaltation. The enemy’s cities will no longer be a city of the rich and famous but a city for ostriches and owls.

When all seems lost, keep looking up!
