Personal Reflections
Jeremiah knowing a lesson that is its deep understanding of the limitations of human beings that we can non belong a the right way and satisfying life without constant guidance of Almighty theology. Through the book of Jeremiah, who first taught me is, how servants of idol ar called to serve Him and how the Almighty chose to serve his servant from the uterus itself. Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you I plant you a prophet to the nations. (Jeremiah 1 5).Jeremiah the Prophet was commissioned from the womb of his mother for his sacred duty. There are some things here that is beautiful and wonderful, when we consider what it says roughly the knowledge of God. God told Jeremiah that he knew before he was created in the womb. He already knows the strengths and weaknesses of Jeremiah. He knew that Jeremiah would be what God wants to use during certain periods of the history of Israel.ever y servant of God had their own commissioned to serve Him in various office. Strong Relationship with GodJeremiah has a long-term relationship with God. Over time, he wise(p) to inspire and trust him with positive results from many experiments that took coiffure in the office. The righteous prophets, who tell the truth about the guinea pig condition, are non human. Jeremiah has some documentary friends. But God is the first in the life of this prophet.He knows and obeys God as Creator. Jeremiah was chosen to record one of the deepest parts of the Bible by God. therefrom says the Lord Give to the wise not to praise his wisdom, not to give a strong glory to man in his power, nor to leave the glory of wealthiness and riches? But he who glorifies this glory, who understands and knows me, who God is, farms love, judgment, and justice on earth. (Jeremiah 9 23-24).Jeremiah the Rescuer Despite the different circumstances, the prophet Jeremiah lived in a period of national chaos at a time when it looked like the current climate of uncertainty and anxiety. The conviction, according to Jeremiah, is supported and supported by Gods personal commitment to him. Jeremiah says hence the Lord returned his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.Today, I have made all these nations and over the kingdom, prohibit and exterminate, build and (9-10). We can see the contents of the book itself, which Jeremiah prophesied during the period of sudden decline and ultimately the capture of the rude of Judah. This is a prominent voice in the expression of Gods guinea pig for his people. Over the course of about 40 years, Jeremiah prophesied during the reign of the five different kings of Judah by the worthy Josiah.Guide trouble with it, let Jeremiah learned a few lessons about the nature of God and the very human condition that men and women of the this century must understand and acknowledge the commission of God given to them an d to save nations or people.Relying onGod alone.Most of the time we forgot to relying on God when the time of persecutions.But in this book teach us, despite the c erstwhilentrated persecution of his people, Jeremiah knew that the Supreme Lord was the absolute control of these events. Many compatriots do not, and some of them continue to weaken their message, directly from the Creator. But God had said I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled (Jeremiah 112,NIV).Our Creator has a clear planning and purpose for the salvation of mankind. Some things in this world make sense only if we accept this fact.For all Judah, who were attending the day of Jeremiah, God promised them that he would bless them when they were captured in Babylon. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says theLORD, thoughts of counterinsurgency and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you (Jeremiah 2911-12).Great commi sionGod does not like to punish Judah for national and personal sin.He sent prophets to warn them in advance, save the nation has ignored. In vain I have chastened your children they veritable no correction (Jeremiah 230). So, national captivity became a necessity. What are the teachings of our world today? What we can learn by this? Of cause its become the rebuke of todays world. Before the disaster of Judah, Jeremiah expressed repentance by the people for the people of his. Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place (Jeremiah 73).God calls people to conversion and personal Judah nations (verses 4-7), but it did not happen. We can get it that many benefits from the guidance of His constant regardless of how bad the country was left. O Lord, correct me, but with justice do with your anger, lest thou not think do not matter (Jeremiah 1024). Can pray the selfsame(prenominal) prayer today for our country Malaysia? Yes we can because God the Almight y is the same yesterday-today- and tomorrow.Surely he will listen to our prayer. Accept the Rebuke.Jeremiah was human and had failings, but at least he honestly admitted them to God. Instead of piously covering up his true feeling, he pour out his heart to the Lord and the Lord solving him. He asks God, that he wonders why the pain and loneliness seem to be unending He wonders whether God will fail him. Will God be like an unreliable and seasonal brook? Gods answer may shock the prophet, for the Lord told him he motivatinged to repent, if he repent God will recuperate him that he may serve the Lord, if Jeremiah utter worthy, not worthless, word, so that he may be the spokesman.The Lord always balance rebuke with assurance. He promised once again to make Jeremiah a fortified wall and give him victory over all enemies. Jeremiah had to learn to walk by faith, which meant obeying Gods word no matter how he felt, what he saw, or what people might do to him. God never promised Jeremiah an easy job, but He did promise Jeremiah all that he need to do His work faithfully.God reminds Jeremiah that the suffering he has experienced is exactly like what God had told him. Jeremiah then, is not to crumble in the face of adversity but rather redouble his commitment to his prophetic vocation. Persecution has not derailed Gods promise to deliver and vindicate (verse 20), and God reminds Jeremiah that his perseverance is the very vehicle by which the people are won over to repentance (verse 19).ConclusionIs it incredible for Gods chosen servants to be weak and harm their own ministries? No. Because every servant of God is a human being and is subject to the weakness of human nature. Example Moses became discouraged and wanted to die (No. 11 10-15) Joshua was willing to stop and leave the land of promise (Jos 7 6-11), Elijah even left his place of duty and hoped to die (1 Kings 19) and Jonah was angry and he refused to help the person he came to rescue (Jonah 4).God does not w ant us to ignore our feelings, because it will make us less than human beings, but He wants us to trust Him to change our feelings and to walk with faith in Him.The book of Jeremiah teaches that honesty and faithfulness in the midst of suffering are signs of prophetic service and a lesson that is its deep understanding of the limitations of human beings that we cannot live a decent and satisfying life without constant guidance of Almighty God. The announcement of the prophet to his initial call was a way in which God would carry out his redemptive work in the world and reaffirm the promises of liberation.
