Jeremiah 32 -Why Lord?

 

Jeremiah 32 – Why Lord?

 

While Jeremiah was still in jail, Jerusalem was under siege. Jeremiah’s cousin comes to him and asks him to buy a field. God told Jeremiah to buy it and with faith he buys the field. He knows that if he buys this land it will fall into the hands of the Chaldean’s. Jeremiah obeyed God but did not understand His reasoning. He asked God why he needs to buy this land when God knows it is under siege.

 

God answers Jeremiah by letting him know that He can do the impossible and even though God is judging Judah now, He will later deliver His people back to the land under His infinite mercy.

 

When disaster strikes a land, the real estate options are very few. More people are moving out of the area than there are people trying to move in. Jeremiah’s cousin was desperate and wanted the money to move out from under the siege.

God reassured Jeremiah that buying the land was a good investment.

 

Sometimes when God is doing something in our life, there may come doubt or fears. God understands that and He wants us to ask questions. There is nothing wrong with asking God for clarification. Sometimes, He will clear it up right away and other times, we will have to wait for an answer, even if it means we will have to wait until we see Him in person.

 

Why do women lose a child while giving birth?

Why do innocent people go to prison?

What is Your purpose for me and my children while we are here on earth?

We must rely on God and trust Him.

Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you future and a hope.”

Believe that “all good things come to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.”

We step out in faith and lay our doubts and fears and questions down at Jesus’ feet and live our life knowing that God is in full control and can do great and marvelous things.
