Jeremiah 51-52

What God said to me – As you read through My word you see a consistent theme – what I have purposed, I have performed.  I always do what I say I will do.  When you truly understand this you will cease to doubt or to be anxious about what the future holds.  My plans for My children are for a future and a hope – life with Me forever so in spite of all of the chaos and uncertainty around you, you don’t need to be afraid.  My plans are for your good and My glory so when you are in the midst of difficult circumstances, look to this – so when you are caught up in the fallout of My judgment upon this ungodly world, whether it’s disease or famine or financial upheaval or war – whatever it is, remember this truth – what I have purposed, I will perform for your good and my glory.

Jeremiah 49-50

What God said to me – My people have become like lost sheep.  Their leaders and their shepherds have led them astray and My people have willingly followed because their dependence was on them and not on Me.  It is easy to be misled when you don’t have a strong relationship with Me.  You must know My word yourself and that only comes from study and meditation and constantly searching it and asking My Spirit to teach you.  When you have this kind of relationship with Me and My word, you won’t be led astray.  You’ll be able to see through what false teachers and ungodly leaders are saying and promoting.  This is why it is so important for you to spend this time with Me.  Be diligent and stay in My word.

Jeremiah 46-48

What God said to me – Everyday is a spiritual battle for those who belong to Me.  You are surrounded by uncleanness, by evil, by sin, and immorality everywhere you look – whether just walking down the street or flipping channels on your television.  You think you are doing okay and then it is there before you can blink your eyes.  I told Egypt through Jeremiah to “take a stand with your helmet on”.  It is the same for you.  Part of the armor that I have provided is the helmet of salvation.  It is only because of your salvation that you can truly guard your mind from the assaults of the enemy.  Each morning you need to put on your armor so you are ready each day to withstand the attacks by the enemy.  His attacks are like guerilla warfare – sudden and unexpected.  You must be prepared at all times lest you fall.
