Knowing God - The Lord's Demolition Intended for Rebuild

FYI – I read something that said yesterday’s verse was actually Jeremiah’s heart…still researching it….


Jer 4:27

 This is what the Lord says:
                                                                   
"The whole land will be ruined,
though I will not destroy it completely.
NIV


The Lord was going to deal with His people and it was going to look like total devastation.  The birds were going to flee, the walls torn down and the temple was going to be in ruins.  The Lord clearly states that the destruction was not intended to be the end of His people but that which would be used to bring them to a place of repentance.  Even though it looked like the end, in fact, it was a new beginning.  When we face destruction because of our own choices and we feel hopeless, we must remember that the Lord intends to use the demolition as an opportunity to rebuild.  He does wonderful makeovers and demolition is often necessary.
