Morning Reflection (QT)
Introduction.
Israel’s leaders were supposed to care for the people; for not doing so, they will be punished.
The LORD will gather the people who were scattered and return them to their homeland.
The prophet speaks the LORD’s message of the coming of a righteous king from the line of David who will rule with justice.
Reflection
By what name will the righteous king be known (verse 6)? What does this name mean to you? Reread verses 5 and 6.
How is the righteous king described? How is the future described? Do you ever envision a time when all people will live in peace?
Pray
You, Lord God, are the living God who rescues us from sin and death and offers us eternal salvation. Teach me to do what is right and just and to extend your redeeming love to all I meet.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Jeremiah 23:1-8
Jeremiah 23:1
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the flock of my pasture—oracle of the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:2
Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd my people: You have scattered my sheep and driven them away. You have not cared for them, but I will take care to punish your evil deeds.
Jeremiah 23:3
I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have banished them and bring them back to their folds; there they shall be fruitful and multiply.
Jeremiah 23:4
I will raise up shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear or be terrified; none shall be missing—oracle of the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:5
See, days are coming—oracle of the LORD— when I will raise up a righteous branch for David; As king he shall reign and govern wisely, he shall do what is just and right in the land.
Jeremiah 23:6
In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name to be given him: “The LORD our justice.”
Jeremiah 23:7
Therefore, the days are coming—oracle of the LORD—when they shall no longer say, “As the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt”;
Jeremiah 23:8
but rather, “As the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of the house of Israel up from the land of the north”—and from all the lands to which I banished them; they shall again live on their own soil.

R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. May all who seek you exult and be glad in you, And may those who love your salvation say ever, “The LORD be glorified.

I trust in your comfort and provision, and I pray that I would experience that comfort in a powerful way tonight.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
