Jeremiah 14

As made clear in His Word, God used both blessings and curses in the OT to reward or chastise His people. It was a less merciful approach.

In Christ, God blended both mercy and truth to achieve His purposes. He wants to draw all men unto Himself. Christ was sent to us that all men might have a chance to be saved. Only in Heaven will we be able to look back and see how gracious God was to us. He has custom designed a life for us with both blessings and adjustments that we might fully know Him and find our place in His Eternal Heaven.

I will never forget one day that God showed my son Mark His Power. Mark (about 10 years old) was caddying for my dad on a golf course. My dad chipped IN a shot from out in front of the green. As soon as the ball fell into the hole, Mark jumped up and down shouting, “I prayed that it would go IN.” God showed His power and blessing to my son that day. Mark went on to even spend time as a professional caddie on the famous Muirfield Golf Course in Dublin, Ohio, before becoming an equity analyst.
