Jeremiah was used by God to identify false shepherds who didn’t really care for His people and false prophets who tried to speak for God when He really didn’t speak.

He prophesied that a Righteous Branch, Jesus, would come and give true care to God’s people. Christ came and put God’s love in our hearts so that all Christians can show the true care that is really needed.

Concerning what God has said, using the Words of Christ from the New Testament and those who He has commissioned to speak for Him in the canon of scripture is the safest way to speak for God. Quote the Word as directed by His Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah would be happy.

PRAYER: Lord, I want to be one who shows Your true care and speaks for You. Let Your love and Your Word flow through me today.
