Jeremiah 23:5-6

“I, the Lord, promise that a new time will certainly come when I will raise up for them a righteous branch, a descendant of David. He will rule over them with wisdom and understanding and will do what is just and right in the land. Under his rule Judah will enjoy safety and Israel will live in security. This is the name he will go by: ‘The Lord has provided us with justice.’

Again we see scripture in the Old Testament point forward revealing Jesus Christ as the One who is to come. Jesus is the "Branch of righteousness" (NKJV). He is the King who reigns wisely and holds true justice in His hands. Impossible salvation has come to us through Jesus. He has broken through the shroud of sin and death and created hope for new life. Whatever situation you may face today, know that it is not hopeless. You are not abandoned and alone! We serve a God who moves people in His purpose, who is active through the lives He has created. He is indeed our King, and He is worthy of our adoration and worship.
