Jeremiah 32:17 Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you

A year before Jerusalem fell, the Lord commanded Jeremiah to buy a field. He was to pay for it and carefully preserve the deed in a clay pot so that it would last a long time.

This action was to show that even though their exile would last seventy years, God would still bring the people of Judah back into the Promised Land.

Sometimes God’s promises take some time to be fulfilled. But we must remain faithful and believe in those promises no matter how long it takes.

Are you waiting to see promises come to pass that God has given you? What action can you take to show your faith in God’s fulfillment of His promises? What verses can you write down and put in a jar to wait to see come to pass?

Just as Jeremiah bought a field as proof that God would answer, we too can write out those personal promises and keep them in a special place until we see God’s answer come.

Challenge for Today: Take some action to show God you believe He will bring those promises into reality.
