Daily Scripture & Question
Jeremiah 30-31 After much being said about the coming fall of Jerusalem and the exile into Babylon, these chapters speak mostly of the hope of the restoration of the people of God to the land. Will God make a full end of Israel (30:11)? To what time is Jeremiah referring in chapter 31:1, 27, 38? As is often the case, promises of the restoration are "bigger" than merely the return of the Israelites to the land after the exile. It points to the promises of the new covenant and even what will come after that. What is different about the new covenant according to this passage?

Biblical Prayer Focus
James 1:5-8 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
Ask for yourself and your protectorate that you all may receive God's wisdom in liberal portions. Seek Him in faith, knowing that if He gave His Son for you, He will also give you all things, including wisdom to make the right decisions you are facing right now.
