As I wrap up the book of Jeremiah, I get a deep sense of God's sovereignty. Babylon thought that they had conquered Judah because of its own might. But they were actually being used as a tool by God to discipline His people. And once God was done using Babylon for that purpose, God used other nations to completely destroy that once great empire.
Sometimes I think we get the sense that our country is blessed regardless of our attitude and actions toward God. But God is sovereign and not to be mocked. I think of all the people who openly rebel against the clear teaching of God's Word and then just tack on "God Bless America" to the end of their speeches as if that is some magic phrase that is going to prevent God from judging us as a people. But as a nation we are not immune to God's judgment. But the good news is that the evidence of Scripture is that God always preserves a remnant of those who remain faithful to Him in the face of tribulation.
