The Lord Our Righteousness
Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.
Family, we have the joy of learning more about the character of God each day. This evening we see that before anyone in 2026 said, “Try Me And Find Out” that God said it first.
Through the Prophet Jeremiah the Lord gave a harsh warning to those who were sitting on the Throne. The Lord was telling them throughout Jeremiah not to take the role of King lightly.
Here is what he said in Jeremiah 23:5-6
Jeremiah 23:5-6
New International Version
5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,
a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.
This is the name by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.
And God repeated his promise again in Jeremiah 33:14-16
Jeremiah 33:14-16
New International Version
14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah.
15 “‘In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line;
he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will live in safety.
This is the name by which it[a] will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’
Family, has God ever made a promise to you or shown you a glimpse of what will be?
Sometimes it feels like forever for the promise to be fulfilled. We were expecting a month’s or maybe even a couple of years, right?
God’s timing is so very different from ours. One thing I can say without a shadow of a doubt, God’s timing is worth the wait.
Let me tell you, the enemy will try anything and everything to get you to take the counterfeit blessings, the generic blessing, or even the “well it’s close enough” blessing.
A counterfeit usually looks convincing. If it looked obviously wrong, we would reject it. That is why waiting on God requires knowing His voice.
The Prophet Jeremiah told the rulers of the day, since you have treated my people so poorly, I am preparing “A righteous Branch from the line of David and he will be called The Lord Our Righteous Savior.”
Family, Im reading this and I see all characteristics of God coming through that we have been studying over the last couple of weeks.
God has loved us from the very beginning. The Old Testament is filled with do many examples of God’s faithfulness to love us and never forsake us.
Yes, God Is:
Our Banner
Our Peace
Our Righteousness
And He sees us.
If that is not a reason to praise Him, I don’t know what is. Praise God!!!
Let Us Pray
Beautiful Abba,
We come before You with grateful hearts, knowing that You are the Lord Our Righteousness.
Father, thank You that before we ever knew how much we needed You, You already had a plan for restoration. Through every generation, through every promise, and through every season of waiting, You have remained faithful.
Lord, forgive us for the times we have tried to rush what You were preparing. Forgive us for the moments when we were tempted to accept what was “close enough” instead of trusting that Your promises are worth the wait. Help us to recognize the counterfeit blessings that distract us from the perfect plans You have prepared.
Father, when we cannot see the full picture, remind us that You can. When we feel forgotten, remind us that You are El Roi, the God who sees us. When we are overwhelmed, remind us that You are Jehovah Shalom, our peace. When battles surround us, remind us that You are Jehovah Nissi, our banner and our victory.
Lord, thank You for sending the Righteous Branch, the One who brings salvation and restoration. Thank You that our righteousness is not dependent on our perfection, but on Your mercy, Your grace, and Your unfailing love.
Teach us to wait with faith. Teach us to trust Your timing. Teach us to walk in the identity You have given us, not because of who we are, but because of who You are.
May our lives declare that You are faithful from generation to generation.
In the precious and holy name of Christ Jesus we do pray, Amen, Amen, and Amen.
