THOUGHTS:

God sent his imprisoned prophet Jeremiah a message of encouragement to the sick nation.  The sick and defiled nation will be healed and cleansed.  The truth of God would conquer the lies of the false prophets.  And righteousness will reign from the throne of David with wedding songs.  Meanwhile, as God reigns in our lives, we can bring to this world the life-changing message of spiritual health, cleansing and peace to rebuild what sin has torn down.
