Jeremiah 48:1-47
A Message to Moab
👉 Current state of affairs (v 1-5)
- shame
- broken down
- cut off
- desolation and destruction
- destroyed
- weeping
- distress
👉 Why? (v 6-30)
- they trusted in their works
- they trusted in their treasures
- they had become complacent
- lazy in the work of the Lord
- magnified themselves
- looked down on Israel
- pride and arrogance
- haughtiness of heart
- insolence
- false boasting and deeds
- sacrifices to false gods
👉 A huge consequence of living this way? (v 33)
No joy.
“Joy had been taken away.”
“No one treads with shouts of joy.”
“The shouting is not the shout of joy.”
👉 Yet… (v 47)
The Lord leaves them with a word of hope.
“I will restore…”
God is a restoring God.
He is a God of hope.
Happy Saturday, friends. ♥️
