Jeremiah 31: 9b I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble,
What
a great promise! Makes us think of Psalm 23, "he leads me
beside quiet waters, he restores my soul."
This verse in Jeremiah is so powerful. Ponder the literal meaning and
then really ponder the spiritual meaning.
Jeremiah
31:25 I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”
In
John 4, Jesus states that He is the Living Water. He refreshes and
satisfies us. And then He gives us this assignment in John 7.
John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will
flow from within him.”
Jeremiah
33:11b
" For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,'
says the LORD.
The restoration promises are multi-layered. This little sentence speaks volumes concerning God’s promises! He promises to restore the fortunes of the land “as they were before…” Which “before”? Could it be that He is promising to restore things as they were in the Garden of Eden? Is this a promise for the millennium? Read on and it will be obvious!
Jeremiah
30:3
The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will bring my people Israel
and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their forefathers to
possess,' says the LORD."
Which
forefathers? If we go all the way back to the original “forefathers”,
it takes us back to the Garden of Eden.
While
these Scriptures certainly speak of a literal fulfillment during the days of
the Biblical writing, it also is a layered prophecy that speaks of a
fulfillment yet in our future. That’s what makes this His “living” Word!
Jeremiah
30:21
I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will
devote himself to be close to me?' declares the LORD.
The Lord draws us near to Him - in numerous ways. It is up to us to
snuggle in a little closer. Our prayer is that all of us will devote
ourselves to be close to HIM!
