Main Thought:
On Pentecost Monday, consider this expression of the universal proclamation of God’s goodness. All nations will indeed receive the word of the Lord and worship Him.
Jeremiah 31:10-14
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him,
and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord,
over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
their life shall be like a watered garden,
and they shall languish no more.
Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
I will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance,
and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
declares the Lord.
Prayer
Gracious and loving Father, declare Your gracious redemption to all men, near and far that their mourning may turn to joy at the news of Your salvation. May the nations of the earth be turned to peace by the victory You won over sin through Jesus Christ, our Lord who lives and reigns with You and Holy Spirt, one God now and forever. Amen.
