DEVOTION: Jeremiah 23:5-6
5 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: 'The Lord is our righteousness.'
When Jeremiah prophesied this he and the people who heard it were only thinking a few years out, seventy to be exact, when God would bring a remnant of the Jews back to Jerusalem and Judah. They were thinking only of their current physical circumstances. They had no idea that God's plans were so much greater and more important than that.
Through Jeremiah, the Lord God was proclaiming that he would send a Savior for the world for all time. He wouldn't just bring the Jews out of captivity from Babylon, he would bring all those who believe out of their captivity to sin. He wouldn't just cause the enemies of the Jews to be favorable toward them so they would let them go, he would totally and completely destroy the power of Satan.
Too often we have trouble looking past our current circumstance. We go from one circumstance, whether good or bad, to the next without ever dwelling on the big picture. We have a hard time seeing the whole forest for the dense trees that block our view.
What this requires is that we take a step back, take a deep breath, and take in God's Word, his sacraments, and his peace. If we want to better see the forest for the trees, the big picture of God's mercy, grace, salvation, and eternal life, then we need to get as much of God's gifts as possible.
If you like living moment to moment, crisis to crisis, and if you like feeling hurried and that life is spinning out of control, then stay away from worship, don't do daily devotions, don't pray, don't participate in the faith strengthening gifts that God gives you.
On the other hand, if you want peace, security, and joy in your life, then take advantage of Christ's gifts, fill yourself with them, and use them to his glory!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me your gifts. Help me to get as much of them as I can so I may live in peace and joy here on this earth, right here, right now. Amen.
