NEARBY: The LORD is nearby - Jeremiah 23:23

Do you not realize that I Am a God nearby, says the Lord, and not a God far away? Can anyone hide from Me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:23-24

Eternal Truth: "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." Hebrews 4:13; "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39; "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." Isaiah 43:2; "Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close." Psalm 27:10

Prayer & Praise
I am never alone! Where can I go to escape or hide from Your presence, Lord God? If I ascend to the heavens, or go to the deepest parts of the sea, You are there. If I make my bed in death, You are there! I praise You for reminding me through this holy scripture that You are always by my side and never far from me. Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your constant presence in my life. Regardless of the hardships I face, I am convinced that nothing can separate me from the love of God that I have through You. Please lead me, Holy Spirit, to someone today who feels that God is far away from them. Use my care to help them believe that God is near and wants all to be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. I pray in His mighty name.

KING/LORD: The King, our LORD of Righteousness brings justice and salvation - Jeremiah 23:5

Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute justice and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-6

 
Eternal Truth: "He [God] made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]. 2 Corinthians 5:21; “Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased; I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles." Matthew 12:18

Prayer & Praise
My eyes and faith are fixed on You, LORD Jesus, my King of righteousness who reigns over all, upholding justice for the needy, and bringing the hope of salvation to all who believe in You. I praise You for going to the cross and taking our sins in Your holy body so that we may partake in Your righteousness. I eagerly await the glorious day when You return to save the remnant of Israel and fix all the wrongs and injustices we see on earth. Please instill in me a passion for righteousness and justice, so that I may become more like You. Come quickly, Lord Jesus, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven, where love, mercy, joy, peace, unity, righteousness, and justice will reign forever. Hallelujah and amen.

SHEPHERDS: The Lord places shepherds to care for you - Jeremiah 23:4

I will put shepherds over them. Those shepherds will take care of them. My sheep will no longer be afraid or terrified, and not one of them will be missing," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:4

Gospel Truth: "Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed, but out of eagerness; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away." 1 Peter 5:2-4

Quote: "The only safe place for a sheep is by the side of their Shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the Shepherd." A. W. Tozer

Praise & Prayer

I praise You, Lord Jesus, for being my Shepherd. There is nothing I lack with You. Thank You for taking me to green pastures where my soul is supplied with rest. Thank You for leading me beside quiet waters where my strength is renewed. You lead me along the right paths for Your name’s sake. Even when I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no danger, for You are with me. Your rod of power and Your staff of protection bring me comfort. Holy Spirit, please teach me to be a compassionate shepherd like Jesus to my family and God's people. Please guide someone across my path today who is devoured by the devil and needs spiritual, physical, or emotional care. I pray for their deliverance in the mighty name of my Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ.

WONDERS: Ask the LORD to perform wonders - Jeremiah 21:2

The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said: “Inquire now of the Lord for us because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the LORD will perform wonders for us as in times past so that he will withdraw from us.” Jeremiah 21:1-2

Eternal Truth: "O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?" Deuteronomy 3:24; "But Jesus replied, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.” Luke 18:27

Worship & Prayer
Nothing is impossible for God. Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, revered with praises, and performing wonders for those who love You? I bow to worship Your greatness and praise You for Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Lord Jesus, I pray for family members and fellow Christians who are dealing with serious health issues. Send Your living Word into their hearts, and please perform wonders as You have in times past for those who come to You for mercy, healing, and salvation. I pray for victory over demonic attacks in Your mighty name. Hosanna!

RESCUED: The LORD comes to your rescue - Jeremiah 20:13

Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For though I was poor and needy, He rescued me from my oppressors. Jeremiah 20:13

Prayer & Praise
I can never thank You enough, Loving Father, for sending Christ to rescue me from my oppressors and the sin that leads to eternal condemnation. I worship You and sing songs of praise for saving poor, needy sinners like me. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who is being oppressed by the devil. Calm the raging storm within their mind and heart as they read this promise and pray to be rescued by Christ Jesus, our Savior.

LORD: The LORD is with you - Jeremiah 20:11

But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten. Jeremiah 20:11

Eternal Truth: "Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”)." Matthew 1:23; "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I Am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

Prayer & Praise
Your presence in my life, Immanuel, dispels all fear from my heart and fills my soul with living hope. As Jeremiah, I rely upon Your promise to be with me as a fearless warrior who fights my battles and will never abandon me. Holy Spirit, please strengthen me for what lies ahead this day and help me to remain steadfast in my faith by remembering that Christ the LORD is with me until the end of my days here on earth. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, my Savior.

SHAPED: The Potter is shaping you for His glory - Jeremiah 18:4

This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Jeremiah, go down to the potter’s house. I will give you my message there.” So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working with clay at the wheel. He was making a pot from clay. But there was something wrong with the pot. So the potter used that clay to make another pot. With his hands he shaped the pot the way he wanted it to be. Jeremiah 18:1-4

Infallible Truth: "But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:9; "We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us." 2 Corinthians 4:3,7; "Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

Prayer & Praise
Abba Father, I enter Your House and approach Your throne of mercy and grace to say, "I surrender my life into Your hands." Lord Jesus, I praise You for being the Master Potter whom I love and trust. Please continue to shape and mold me into a vessel of honor that radiates Your character of love, mercy, grace, and truth. Remove impurities from my heart and refine the rough edges of my character, so that I may become more like You each day. Holy Spirit, please guide me to someone today whose life is marred by sin and shame. Shine the light of Christ's love into their heart so they believe that Jesus, the Master Potter, longs to shape and remake marred lives of clay into beautiful vessels of honor for God's great treasure. I pray for their salvation and transformation in Jesus' mighty name.
