Jeremiah 23.1-8
jeremiah critized the shepherds of Judah for mistreating the people of Judah. The shepherds were leaders, not priests. This was spoken during Zedekiah's reign. God will raise up the Messiah who would be a just king, a good shepherd and leader. He also prophesied of the return of the Jews back to Jerusalem. We have seen the restoration of the xiles which began under Cyrus (559-530 BC), and the return in 1948, the capture of Jerusalem in 1967 in the Six Days War.
Application:
God is in control of the world situation even though it seems so hopeless to us. He is all-powerful, all-knowing and is everywhere. Let us be aware of what is going on but let us put our trust in God.
Verses to meditate on:
5 "The days are coming," declares the LORD,
"when I will raise up to David [a] a righteous Branch,
a King who will reign wisely
and do what is just and right in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.
This is the name by which he will be called:
The LORD Our Righteousness.

Psalm 80, with Commentaries, verse by verse
This is a psalm of Asaph and is a prayer for God's restoration on when she has been ravaged by a foreign nation, probably Assyria. (2Kings 17.1-6) The phrase 'Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! occurs three times v. 3, 7 and 19. We too need God's hand in our lives to restore us so that our sins may be forgiven and our fellowship restores with Him.
