From the Prison
From his prison Jeremiah continues to cry out the word of God.
Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you things great beyond reach of your knowledge.
From our own prisons of unhappiness, illness, anxiety or fear, we might also listen for the word of God.
Through his prophecy, Jeremiah continues to console the lost.
Behold, I will heal them, and reveal to them an abundance of lasting peace.
From our own sadness or sorrow, we might also offer a word or gesture of solidarity.
Through the promise of redemption, Jeremiah continues to call us to God.
I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and Judah. I will raise up a just shoot; he shall do what is right and just in the land.
From our yearning for seeking, we might also bring God to all that we say and all that we do.
Spend time today with Jeremiah 33. Study other Bible versions of these verses by clicking on the scripture verse here or above. Compare translations and listen. Like Jeremiah, we will hear God’s word. And also like Jeremiah, from our prison, we will send it on.
