In this section, the Lord will allow the Jerusalem (Israel) and her "friends" to be restored so that all will be shown for their failings and how they are really despised rather than loved and cared for. Then will then bear the consequences of their "lewdness and despicable practices". God will deal with them as they deserve because of the broken covenant. However, the Lord will "remember" His part of the covenant that He made with them in their youth and still despite it all, go forth and establish an "everlasting" covenant with them. Then they will know that He is the Lord. After the atonement for their sin, they will repent and and be reminded of this episode in their lives and remain humble and walk with their Lord.
God did intend an everlasting covenant - the Lord Jesus Christ and gave them this opportunity to return to Him in a more meaningful and permanent way. His death and resurrection was the once and for all, everlasting sacrifice and covenant - the New Testament in His body and blood shed for the remission of all sin! Halleluia, what a Savior! Halleluia, Amen!
Things are progressing towards getting GG more permanently set up there in Denver. I am glad to see him progressing in his maturity and in his responsiblilties. Learning to let go and let God! Still thankful and praiseful for God taking over where I cannot. Prayers also for David and Irene. Still thinking of all those that I meet and have a story and how I can be Jesus to them. Praiseful that several of the young adults in our church are reaching out to those less fortunate than they are and being real to them.
Praise for today: that He is mighty to save!
