The message of Jeremiah the prophet primarily proclaims our Lord*s rebuke against the sin of His people and pronounces our Lord’s judgment against His people for their sin. Yet in Jeremiah 14:7-9, 20-22 we find an expression of humble repentance. Even so, this passage reveals the ingredients of true, Biblical repentance before the Lord our God. In the previous meditation on this passage, we considered that such repentance begins when we acknowledge five things: (1) Our sinful behavior; (2) Our self-willed departure; (3) Our stubborn rebellion; (4) Our spiritual guiltiness; and (5) Our singular hope. In this meditation, we shall consider four further ingredients of true, Biblical repentance, each concerning our relationship to the Lord our God as our singular Hope:
1. Seeking for Our Lord’s Revealed Glory (Jer. 14:7, 21) 2. Seeking for Our Lord’s Restored Fellowship (Jer. 14:9, 21) 3. Trusting in Our Lord’s Abundant Faithfulness (Jer. 14:8-9 4. Trusting in Our Lord’s Almighty Power (Jer. 14:22)
