Good Discipline (Jeremiah 46-47, Hebrews 6)

In Jeremiah 46-47, we see God's sovereign hand at work yet again. God is in control of the nations and does with them as He pleases when He pleases. In Jeremiah 46, Egypt and her gods are given a judgment from the Almighty. However, God promises to take care of Israel (46:27-28). In Jeremiah 47, Philistine is also handed a judgment from on high. God says that the day has come for all of the Philistines to be destroyed (47:4). If we are God's people, we can take comfort in this passage. We may receive discipline from the Lord at times, but God will never stop loving us (46:28, Revelation 3:19). Do you witness the discipline of the Lord as being something good in your life?

Hebrews 6:1-12 teaches us that we should be growing in our faith and that we should endure hard times. Hebrews 6:13-20 teaches us that God's salvation is sure. If God swore it, it must be true. "All the promise of God find their Yes in him" (2 Cor. 1:20). Have their been times when you doubted God or the fact that He saved you?
