Forever - Jeremiah 31:35-37

Jeremiah 31:35-37 ESV 


Thus says the Lord,

who gives the sun for light by day

and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,

who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—

the Lord of hosts is his name:

“If this fixed order departs

from before me, declares the Lord,

then shall the offspring of Israel cease

from being a nation before me forever.”

Thus says the Lord:

“If the heavens above can be measured,

and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,

then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel

for all that they have done,

declares the Lord.”


The sun, moon, and stars are still with us. The nation of Israel has returned to the promised land. They shall never cease as a nation. Without God, no one could have conceived of their return, of dry bones receiving the flesh and blood of life and walking again among mankind. 


The Lord says forever. God keeps His promises. A son was born to Abraham when there was no way. Israel was reborn as a nation when there was no way. Sons of God are born every day when there is no way for man to find his way to God. This is the Lord doing a new thing, and a thing only He can do. 


He has made a promise to us. God makes a way. Jesus is the way. He calls us to make our way along His way. That way is proven.
