“Blessed Is The Man That Trusts In The Lord, Whose Hope The Lord Is”
Reference Jeremiah chapter 17
You trust God, but does God trust you? You hope is in God, but is God's hope in you? You have faith in God, but does God have faith in you? You love God, but do you know His love? You talk about God, but does God talk about you?
We are trusted by God. With the hope of God in us, God believing in us, experiencing His love, and Him talking about us like He did with Job when we become one with Him. We become one with God through His Word. We believe everything that God believes. His word will always bring us to the cross to die out of the first Adam and resurrect in the second Adam. His Word is who Jesus Christ is. The Word became flesh and dwelled among us to bring us to the cross to die with Him and resurrect with Him, and now become one with Him in all things. One with Him in trust, in hope, in faith, in love, in confidence, in boldness, in power, in peace, in joy, just like Adam before the fall.
Blessed is the man or woman who is one with God.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 17:1-7 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; [2] Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. [3] O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders. [4] And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever. [5] Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. [6] For He shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. [7] Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.”
The cursed man, like fallen Adam, inhabits the parched places. The blessed man, like the second Adam, is the tree planted by the rivers of water.
Jeremiah 17:8 “For He shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”
Cannot cease from yielding fruit because you have become one with God.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
We receive a deceitful and wicked heart from the first Adam. We receive a new heart when we become one with the second Adam.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 17:10-15 “I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. [11] As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. [12] A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. [13] O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. [14] Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. [15] Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.”
They are saying the same things today. Where is the Word of the Lord? The Word of the Lord is Jesus Christ. He left and has returned now in the person of the Holy Spirit, to dwell in all believers everywhere, every time.
John 14:28 “Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.”
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 17:16-27 “As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee. [17] Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. [18] Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction. [19] Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; [20] And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates: [21] Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; [22] Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. [23] But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. [24] And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; [25] Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. [26] And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD. [27] But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.”
If you will not hearken unto “My Word.” His Word is always the dividing line. Jesus Christ is His Word, yesterday, today, and forever.
Hearken unto His Word. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Oneness with God, in Christ!
