God is certainly our provider. Not only does he provide all things from house and home, food and clothing but also salvation from a broken world. Jeremiah was called by God to call the people of Israel back to their salvation. They stayed in their disobedience and now reap the consequences. But God would gather a remnant of His people to be fruitful. (Jeremiah 23:1-6)
I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
– (v. 3)
God provided Jesus to bring us back as well. The righteous branch comes from a dead stump of disobedience. So we too have been called to be fruitful and multiply through Christ our savior out of our dead stump.
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
– (v.5)
