Week 36 September 3 - 9

Day 1

Woe to the bloody city of Jerusalem.  It was full of sin.  There was no use to mourn and weep over those taken into captivity.  The Lord gave plenty of warnings. 

Day 2

Prophecy against Egypt.  They were proud and exalted themselves.  They too would fall.

Day 3

God is the maker of all things, He makes them beautiful and strong.  But when they become prideful the Lord will break them.  
Ah, Lord God! It is You who have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!  Nothing is too hard for You.  He is great in counsel and mighty in deed.  He sees all and rewards each one according to his ways.  

Day 4

The Lord says, Call to Me and I will answer and will tell you great and hidden things you have not known.   God will hide His face from those who do evil.  
Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for His steadfast love endures forever. The Lord is our righteousness.  

Day 5

The Chaldeans came and took over and brought people to King Nebakanezer.  They burned the house of the Lord and took all the precious things.  
Blessed is the man whom the Lord disciplines and who He teaches out of His law.  For the Lord will not forsake His people, He will not abandon His heritage, for justice will return to the righteous and all the upright in heart will follow it.  When the cares of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul.


Day 6

The people then cried out to God asking Him not to cast them off forever.  Allow compassion to come quickly.  Help us Oh God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; delivers us and atone for our sins,  for Your name's sake.  We are the sheep of Your pasture, give thanks to the Lord forever.  

Day 7

The Lord has brought forth destruction without mercy.  
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.  The Lord is my portion, therefore I will hope in Him. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.  

Even though the Lord destroyed the cities and allowed the people to be taken captivity He was always waiting for them to return to Him.  If they did He would be right there to receive them back. I am so very blessed to serve a God who loves me this much.  He is fair and righteous.
