A Good Thing Is On the Way
JER
Introduction
Have you ever wondered how anything good can come out of your present situation?
There are times when it appears that circumstances and conditions are hopeless.
A child seems hopelessly lost.
A marriage seems hopelessly beyond repair.
A friendship seems hopelessly scarred.
A relationship seems hopelessly flawed.
When that feeling comes, it leaves us frustrated.
We feel beyond help.
Yet, the promises of God still loom over us and linger near.
“In the days ahead, I will perform that good thing.”
also reminds us of the new life and renewed blessings that are associated with his coming.
His coming was the fulfillment of God’s promise to mankind.
His coming is also a reminder of God’s promise to every believer.
When we think of that it gives us hope, regardless of our situation.
Why?
Because God’s word promises that “In the days ahead, I will perform that good thing.”
As Christians, we are encouraged by the knowledge that God never makes a promise that he cannot or will not keep.
When he promised the world a Savior, he delivered.
He has promised some good things to us as well; he will deliver.
We are surrounded by promises.
Sometimes we hear so many promises that we become immune to them.
Politicians promise to change things, but we usually get the same thing.
Spouses promise to love each other until death do them part but it usually means until they get tired of each other.
Salesmen promise us that the product they are hawking is an amazing bargain, but often it turns out just the opposite.
We even promise ourselves that we are going to do better, but usually end up making better promises.

We even promise ourselves that we are going to do better, but usually end up making better promises.
We hear so many promises that it gets hard for some to believe any promises; even the innocent sounding promises.
“I promise you, tomorrow will be a better day.”
“I promise you, everything is going to be alright.”
“I promise you that if you do good in school in eat your vegetables you will be pretty and strong, strong, loved and liked.”
Unfortunately, there are many who live by the promises of their family and friends only to discover that reality is not able to keep up with their promises.
The world is notorious for breaking its promises.
They all seem too good to be true.
What about the promises of God? Can we count on them?
The great D.L. Moody said, “God never made a promise that was too good to be true.”
If God said it, you can believe it.
If God promised it, it will come to pass.
It gets hard to remember that when things are not going well, but it is still true.
God will keep every promise that he has made to you and your family.
The coming of Christ reminds of his words, ““In the days ahead, I will perform that good thing.”
During advent our attention focuses on the coming of Christ into the world.
That also reminds us of the new life and renewed blessings that are associated with his coming.

Exposition
This text focuses on a promise of God given at a time when it seemed like everything was lost.
The words of this text were given at a time when the city of Jerusalem was surrounded by the Babylonians who decided to lay siege against the city and starve its residents into surrender.
The people saw nothing good in their situation.
For many it was hopeless (32:1).
The words of this prophecy came as an assurance from God that through his power that he would destroy Babylon, and restore Judah after their exile.
However, God warned them that for now there would be no immediate relief for their situation.
(30:12-15).
However, in the future, God would restore Judah to health, rebuild her cities, and fill the nation with joy (30:17-22).
In His loving-kindness God would restore His covenant with them; it would be an everlasting new covenant written on their hearts (31:1-3, 31-37).
