Week 78 Day 1: Must be Punished

Forward

Jeremiah was called by God to be His vessel in the Book of Jeremiah. God chose Jeremiah while he was still in the womb to bring His word to the nations for the people. Whether the world welcomes or not, the people listen or not, the word through the prophet came direct from God and has His authority and is significant its meaning. God did not call anyone to be prophet but we all can be His vessel to spread His word because the Holy Spirit lives in everyone of us and His word is already written in the Bible.

May you all be renewed in His word each day!

2022-2023 Week 78 Day 1: The Lord's Servant

### Question What are the attributes of the Lord's servant? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + Before I was born the Lord called me. I have labored in vain. Yet what is due me is in the Lord's hand, and my reward is with my God. + The Lord who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and my God has been my strength. + The Lord wants His servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and will also make him a light for the Gentiles, that His salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. + He will keep him and will make him to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land. + Can a mother forget the baby at her breast? The Lord have engraved His people on the palms of His hands. + The Lord's servant would be persecuted, but the Lord would help him so that he would not be disgraced and put to shame. + Trust in the name of the Lord and rely on our God. ### Meditation: My Story + **Identity** - God never forgets us and never forsakes us: "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." Let me remember His promise and be strengthened through His word. + **Fidelity** - When the servant of the Lord is being looked down upon, he knows the Lord will help him, so he is not disgraced nor ashamed. Have I ever been looked down upon in my service to the Lord? Let me receive strength and glory from Him.

2022-2023 Week 78 Day 2: When Salvation Comes

### Question What is it like when salvation comes to Jerusalem? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + You who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord, think about His calling and blessing. + The Lord will surely comfort Zion. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. + Listen, people. Instruction will go out from Him. His arm will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to Him and wait in hope for His arm. + Those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; sorrow and sighing will flee away. + Jerusalem shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive. + Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem. The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. My righteousness will last forever, my salvation through all generations." & goto :_no_skip ### Meditation: My Story + **Identity** - God wants us: "Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their insults." Am I afraid of the "mere mortals" in my heart? Or, do I have hatred when others hurt me? Let me hand off my grievances to God and let Him bring justice and righteousness. + **Fidelity** - How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation. Am I a true ambassador of the Gospel? Who else may I share the good news with and testify for His glory?

2022-2023 Week 78 Day 3: The Sin Offering

### Question How does the Lord's servant suffer for us for our sins? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + The appearance of the Lord's servant was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness. But, he will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. + The Lord's servant had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. + He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, familiar with pain, and we held him in low esteem. + Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. + He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth. + Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin. The will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. + After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. ### Meditation: My Story + **Identity** - The Lord's servant had no beauty or majesty to attract us. His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness. But he will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Our true value is not determined through our outward appearance. Do I value how others see me more than how God sees me?

2022-2023 Week 78 Day 6: Saving the Sinners

### Question Why does the Lord save the sinners? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + God declares to His people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins. + If on the day of your fasting, you do as you please, in quarreling and strife. Is this the kind of fast God have chosen for people to humble themselves? + If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please, then you will find your joy in the Lord. + The arm of the Lord is not too short to save, but your iniquities have separated you from your God. + He saw that there was no one, no one to intervene, so his own arm achieved salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. + The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins. ### Meditation: My Story + **Fidelity** - The fasting that pleases God is to share the food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter. When you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood. When I serve, do I serve with all my heart and all my mind? Let me remember that when I act with such righteousness and mercy, the Lord's glory would be behind me in support!
