Day 239: Jer 51:45 - Lam 1:22

Well we have finally come to the end of the book of Jeremiah and I must say that the ending is rather poetic in my opinion. Not only is it poetic though, this factual ending to a book of prophecy does so much to legitimize everything written in the book thus far. I would be one thing for Jeremiah to prophesy all of that destruction and pain and then there never be any sort of proof that it actually happened, but we can very clearly see that everything that Jeremiah had warmed the Israelites came true. I wonder how many people stood and listened to Jeremiah and just blew it off as if he were just some crazy old man yelling at people for no good reason. Reading the prophesies and then reading what actually ended up happening is a very strong reminder to those of us today. We must never take what God has said to us and just assume that it wasn't right. If God is trying to speak to our generation, it is our job as sons and daughters of God to stand up and listen to what He said and pass it on so that we can save this generation and bring healing to this land.

- Lord, help us to never lose faith in Your Word. If You said something is going to happen, that means it's going to happen and it is our job to spread Your Word all around so that our generation will be saved. -
