Today’s Bible Translation Bible translation used in today’s episode: Ch. 47-49 NLT, Ch. 50-52 HCSB Podcast Introduction It’s Prophecy Friday, and we’ll read chapters 47-52,of Jeremiah, which will complete the book. I’m calling this episode “Is There A Limit To God’s Patience?” Design: Scott Snider | Photo: Matt Artz on Unsplash Comments on Jeremiah 47-52 In the book of Jeremiah, much of what we read was God warning the people of coming judgement, and does not make for fun reading, does it? But imagine how difficult it was to be in Jeremiah’s shoes, being the one chosen to deliver these messages. No wonder he is known as the weeping prophet. It’s so much better to talk about the love of God, His faithfulness, His love, His forgiveness, His grace. But for there to be forgiveness and grace, there must be a turning away from sin. There must be repentance. And often, the people who were under judgment showed that they had no interest in following the will of the Lord. In Genesis 6:3 God said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever.” God is patient, but He does not wait forever. This is true for nations, and it is true with individuals. It would be a good thing for each of us, if there is something in our life that we know is not pleasing to God, to come to grips with it and ask for forgiveness and His strength to leave it behind…to get it out of our life.  How terrible it would be to continue to ignore His pleading to turn to Him. How terrible it would be to come to the end of God’s patience.  Support This a value for value podcast. There are no advertisers because advertising equals censorship.
