Jeremiah

God spoke to Jeremiah and told him that he chose Jeremiah even before he was born to be a great prophet! And, like every prophet, God gave messages to Jeremiah who then shared it with the people. In Jeremiah’s day, the people were once again rebelling. Even though they promised to follow God, they started worshiping false gods. Jeremiah warned them to keep their promise to God or else they would be punished. The people ignored Jeremiah’s warnings and another nation eventually came and forced them from their land. But, like so many other times, God chose to be gracious and forgiving. God still had a plan and a promise to bless his people. And God kept his promise. Eventually, the Israelites were allowed to return to their land again. Kids, we see this pattern time and again in the story of the prophets. The people ignored God and did things their own way, God punished the people for their disobedience, and then he would forgive and bless them. You know why? Because God always keeps his promises!
