11.02.2014 Old Testament: Jer 33.19–22

To read the Bible in a year, read Jeremiah 33–35 on November 2, In the year of our Lord 2014

By Don Ruhl

The Lord made a wonderful promise to David, even putting it in the form of a covenant, and that promise includes you, if you follow Jesus Christ,

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me’” (Jeremiah 33.19–22). 

What can you do to keep the next day from coming or the next night? You say, Not a thing! Likewise, you cannot do one thing to keep the Lord from adding to the descendants of David. Therefore, put all your faith in the Lord of David, who is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
