Read Jeremiah 23:5-6.
Jeremiah spoke these words in a time of spiritual collapse, corrupt leadership, and national despair. The shepherds of Israel had failed, and the people were scattered. Into that darkness, God gave a promise—not of merely better circumstances, but of a better King. A righteous Branch. A true Shepherd. A Savior whose very name declares His nature: The Lord Our Righteousness.
This promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He is the King who reigns with wisdom when human wisdom fails. He is the One who does what is just and right when earthly justice feels uncertain. And He is the Savior who brings true safety—not merely the absence of danger, but the presence of His peace, His protection, His righteousness covering us like a garment we could never earn.
Jeremiah’s prophecy reminds us that our hope is not in political systems, leaders, or human solutions. Our hope is in a King who has already come and who will come again. In a world still full of confusion and corruption, Christ stands as the unshakeable anchor of righteousness.
Today, rest in this truth: Your righteousness is not found in your performance but in your King. He reigns wisely. He saves completely. He holds you safely. And His righteousness is your covering, your assurance, and your peace.
Personal Worship Option:
Lord Jesus, thank You for being our righteous Savior. In a world filled with uncertainty, help us rest in Your perfect leadership, trust in Your justice, and walk in the righteousness You provide. Reign in our hearts today. Amen.
