From Jeremiah the prophet: two juxtaposed considerations! Sometimes my favorite quotes were already said: plus Jeremiah’s times were just like ours—fall and rise of empires, crisis in leadership, the need to hear God’s clear Voice of interpretation. Those willing to risk their lives to speak truth etc…Certain times in history are good lens through which to look at your own. We need Jeremiahs and Daniels these days!  Those who can manifest both the heart and mind of God. Anyway, these two verses spoke to me today.
“The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it” (Jeremiah 18:7-8).
Something to consider, that i came across today.
God reminds us that the opposite is also true: “And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it” (verses 9-10).
