Week 37 September 10 - 16

Day 1

The people left in Judah were told to live under the command of Nebuchadnezzar and they would be ok. But the leader was struck down.
The people needed to pray that God may show them the way that they should go and what they should do. But they needed to listen to what God said and not just do what they thought was best.  What God says to do will ALWAYS be better than what we think of on our own.

Day 2

The people didn't want to listen to Jeremiah and said he was lying.  The Lord continued to send his servants to tell the people what to do and what not to do but they would not listen.  

Day 3

The people will fall by the sword their proud might will come to an end.  

Day 4

Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image that all people were to fall down and worship.  Whoever did not worship this image was to be thrown in the fiery furnace.  When the three men wouldn't bow before the golden image  Neb was furious. He said, what god is there who will deliver you out of my hands? The men said we don't have to answer that but our God who we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace and will deliver us from your hand. Even if he doesn't we still won't serve other gods or worship this image.  These man stood up for righteousness even to the point of death. Their God would be with them no matter what. When Neb saw them in the fire and there was a fourth person that had the appearance of the son of the gods he called them out. He said blessed be the God of these men He has delivered them. He made a decree that no one was to speak anything offensive against their God. There is no other God who is able to deliver in this way.  
How great are His signs and how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and His dominion it's from generation to generation.
The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live.

Day 5

Woe to the shepherds feeding themselves when they should be feeding the flock. The Lord will search for His sheep and seek them out. He will feed them and give them rest and blessings. You are the sheep of the Lord's pasture and He is your God.  The Lord will restore His people and  will give them a new heart and a new spirit and will remove the heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.

Day 6

The vision of the valley of the dry bones. The Lord will restore Israel. He will be their God and they will be his people. His dwelling place will be with them. God will show His greatness, holiness and make Himself known in the eyes of many nations.  They will know that He is The Lord.

Day 7

Ezekiel sees the vision of the new temple. He sees every little detail and sees the measurements.  Our God is into details.  He cares a out the details in your life as well, share them with Him and be encouraged in Him today.

Happy reading - Jeannie
