"Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is:" Jer 37:17
As we examine the world we live in today, there are often more questions than answers. There are wars and rumors of wars, economic woes and senseless killing of innocent people. We are surrounded by a world of deteriorating morality, incurable illnesses and the prosperity of the wicked. These and many other things beg the question, "Is there a word from the Lord?"
Beloved, surely there is. God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. There has never been a time when he has not been with us. He has communicated His will and way to us from the very beginning of our existence. This has continued to this day: "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe." Heb 1:1-2
In challenging times like these, His word still speaks to us. Though the bible was written thousands of years ago and directed to a particular people of a particular time and place, the principles are absolutely timeless and can be applied to every aspect of our lives. After all, the words of this passage were uttered during a time of extreme duress for the people of God and His prophet in particular. Just as God spoke then, He still speaks today. Can you discern what He is saying to you?
Loving Like Jesus,
Lee
