Jeremiah 51:14-26
The LORD Almighty has sworn by himself: I will surely fill you with men, as with a swarm of locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you. "He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. "Every man is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His images are a fraud;they have no breath in them. They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish. He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including the tribe of his inheritance-- the LORD Almighty is his name. "You are my war club, my weapon for battle-- with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms, with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariot and driver, with you I shatter man and woman, with you I shatter old man and youth, with you I shatter young man and maiden, with you I shatter shepherd and flock, with you I shatter farmer and oxen, with you I shatter governors and officials. "Before your eyes I will repay Babylon and all who live in Babylonia for all the wrong they have done in Zion," declares the LORD. "I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who destroy the whole earth," declares the LORD. "I will stretch out my hand against you, roll you off the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain. No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever," declares the LORD.
We live and continue to live by the promises of the LORD. He never slacks in keeping His promises. He keeps all His promises. We do not live by the words of sinful men, women or organizations.They don't keep their promises. They bravely lie to one another. They cheat and deceive one another too. They act from the sinful nature of the Devil in them and how can they keep the promises they make. Their eyes are on the money all the time. For money, they will resort to do anything, just anything! Not so with the LORD. He keeps His promises. He never lies. He never keeps changing in His behavior, just and when He likes. He is trustworthy. No one is as trustworthy as Him on this Earth. He is powerful, very powerful yet He does keep His promises. When He promises something, He will bring it to pass later, or else, He will not make any promises at all, if He can't keep them. Under no circumstances does He change His mind. He keeps what He says He will do. That's why, our advice is for you to go directly to Him and not to anyone or anything else. especially money! Why go to anyone or anything else when He is the Maker of all things? He knows everything that is happening on this Earth, including those who are His. He has reserved you for Him, especially the tribe of His inheritance. Do you know with just a tribe He can move the world to obey Him? Yes, the very tribe that is despised by sinful men and women can act as the war club for the LORD. He can just use anyone who is despised by the world to turn the whole world back to Him. He is that powerful. Who is as powerful as Him? He is not like man. He does not have the sinful nature of the Devil in Him. He can be trusted till the end! when He says He will do something, He surely does it without fail. Sinful men and women always like to challenge Him to a spiritual fight but they end up being defeated badly because they always think that they could fight Him using the limited wisdom of the Devil they have got in them. You cannot fight with the LORD using the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You will always lose the fight. The LORD only needs to deploy His despised tribe to fight His enemies who dare to challenge Him to a fight. It might seem like He is a bully if He Himself comes down to fight weaklings of the Devil. The strongest of the Devil is a weakling in His eyes. We count it the greatest honor and privilege to be the least and the most despised tribe to be able to serve our eternal King and Lord on this temporary Earth.
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness,holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
