Jeremiah Chapters 33:1-26
Jeremiah 33:14-16,23-26
[14]The Lord said, “The time is coming when I will fulfil the promise that I made to the people of Israel and Judah.
[15]At that time I will choose as king a righteous descendant of David. That king will do what is right and just throughout the land.
[16]The people of Judah and of Jerusalem will be rescued and will live in safety. The city will be called ‘The Lord Our Salvation’.
[23]The Lord said to me,
[24]“Have you noticed how people are saying that I have rejected Israel and Judah, the two families that I chose? And so they look with contempt on my people and no longer consider them a nation.
[25]But I, the Lord, have a covenant with day and night, and I have made the laws that control earth and sky.
[26]And just as surely as I have done this, so I will maintain my covenant with Jacob’s descendants and with my servant David. I will choose one of David’s descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will be merciful to my people and make them prosperous again.”

God of justice, power, make and keep his promises and covenants.
Examples of his promises and covenants;
Jeremiah 33:10-13, turn wasteland to abundant pastures; turn mourning onto joy. Restore the fortunes of his chosen people.
A righteous branch sprout from David’s line…will do what is just abd right in the land..vs 15.
Just like keeping the covenant of night and day; same with the covenant to put a descendant of David to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them vs 24.
