Jeremiah 23

Jeremiah 23 reminds us that God is at hand, and not far away. He fills heaven and earth, there is nowhere that we can be out of His reach.  This is a really comforting thought, knowing that whatever situation we’re in, God is at hand.

God heard the lies that the false prophets were telling Israel, and they would be punished for their actions. But in the same chapter there is also hope of the future. References to Christ, described as a righteous branch, reigning and executing justice and righteousness in the land of Israel.
