Jeremiah 32:17-24

   
17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth
by thy great power and stretched out arm,
and there is nothing too hard for thee:
18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands,
and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them:
the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts,
is his name,
19 Great in counsel,
and mighty in work:
for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men:
to give every one according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
even unto this day,
and in Israel, and among other men;
and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs,
and with wonders,
and with a strong hand,
and with a stretched out arm,
and with great terror;
22 And hast given them this land,
which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them,
a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 And they came in,
and possessed it;
but they obeyed not thy voice,
neither walked in thy law;
they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do:
therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
24 Behold the mounts,
they are come unto the city to take it;
and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
that fight against it, because of the sword,
and of the famine,
and of the pestilence:
and what thou hast spoken is come to pass;
and, behold, thou seest it.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

You want to be our God and you want us to be your people.
Give us the inner integrity and the power to discern
and reject what does not come from the heart,
so that everything may be genuine among us.
Then no lies and deception will creep in,
and honesty and goodness will flow from our
hearts to the glory of truth,
to the glory of the gospel and the great hope you give us through the gospel.
Guard our hearts.
Protect the good that is planted in them,
that it may grow and thrive and bear fruit.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
