As Reliable as the Sunrise!

Jeremiah 33

 

Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Monday, April 29.

 

If the sun didn’t rise, life would come to an end. God has put signs in the sky to demonstrate His faithfulness. Twice God referenced this truth to His people in Jeremiah 33, at a time when His people were on the verge of destruction:

 

1. Verses 20-22,

 
“Thus says the Lord, ‘If you can break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be counted and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.’”

 

2. Verses 25-26,

 
“Thus says the Lord, ‘If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established, then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.’ ”

 

Do you trust that the sun will rise tomorrow just as it has every other day of your life? I do because I trust God’s faithfulness (Lamentations 3:23-24). Not only are sunrises beautiful daily reminders of the precious gift of life, but they are also powerful daily reminders of God’s faithfulness to keep His promises. What God was saying to His people is that His faithfulness is greater than their rebellion;therefore, in the same way that they are not powerful enough to stop the established rhythms of day and night in creation, they cannot cause Him to break His covenant promises.

 

Seize the moment and put your faith in God’s faithfulness and not your own (Romans 8:37-39).

 
God bless you!
