The Word of God, spoken by Jeremiah, still needs to be heard today –
“O land, land, land! Listen to the Word of the Lord!” (Jeremiah 22:29).
God has much to say to this land and every land. Are we listening to His
Word? or Have we closed our ears? Jeremiah speaks of our Saviour, Jesus
Christ – “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will grow a
righteous Branch for David” (Jeremiah 23:5). Like Jeremiah, we must
direct attention to the Saviour. Speaking God’s Word, Jeremiah said, “I
am a God who is near. I am also a God who is far away” (Jeremiah
23:23). We must maintain these two emphases in our preaching. God is
greater than we can imagine, yet He has come near to us in Christ.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
