Keeping the faith

Jeremiah 32:6-9

Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me: Hanamel son of your uncle Shallum is going to come to you and say, “Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.” Then my cousin Hanamel came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the Lord, and said to me, “Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

And I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver.

Keeping faith 

when all around spells desolation

Keeping faith

against the odds

Keeping faith

in the face of ridicule

Keeping faith

And demonstrating obedience

God calls us today

To keep faith

To demonstrate our faith

in the God

who will bring justice

and peace

The God

who makes all things new

Keeping the faith
