Jeremiah 32
The armies of Baby;on was beseiging Jerusalem and Jeremiah was imprisoned by Zedekiah. Jeremiah was confronted by Zedekiah about what he was prophesying about the capture of Jerusalem and Zedekiah himself. Jeremiah told him that the word of the Lord came to him for him to buy a field. The object lesson here is that one day people will return to buy kand and have houses again in Jerusalem.

Application:
God keeps His word. He will fulfill these prophecies which are predicted. The Jerusalem and Zedekiah were captured and the Jews returned under the decree of Cyrus some 70 years later.

Verses to meditate on:
17 "Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. 18 You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps of their children after them. O great and powerful God, whose name is the LORD Almighty, 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; you reward everyone according to his conduct and as his deeds deserve.

26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 27 "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

Jeremiah 32 with Commentaries, verse by verse


Psalm 85, with Commentaries, verse by verse
This is a psalm of the sons of Korah. It is a prayer for the community asking for God's renewal of His mercies during this time when they were suffering. They asked for favor from God, the forgiveness of their sins, a revival again. Let us ask the Lord for this combination of love, faithfulness, righteousness and peace in our lives.

Verse to meditate on:
10: Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.'
