Day 93

Jeremiah 33:14–22

“This is what the Lord says: If you can break My covenant with the night so that day and night cease to come at their regular time, then also My covenant with My servant David may be broken” (vv. 20–21).

One unexpected day the clouds will roll back and the King of all kings will burst through the sky.

“On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west. . . . Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime—a day known to the Lord. . . . The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name” (Zech. 14:4–7, 9).

Christ Jesus will sit on the throne of David in the city of Jerusalem, and hope will give birth to certainty! We will join the one who said, “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever” (Ps. 30:11–12). With David, we will sing to the One who is worthy!

That day there just might be one who can’t seem to stop singing.

Oh, yes, I believe David will dance once more down the streets of Jerusalem—this time without an eye to despise him. Oblivious to anyone but God—the focus of his affections, the passion of his heart.

David will dance his way to that same familiar throne, but this time it will be occupied by Another. No one above Him. None beside Him. David will see the Lord high and lifted up, and His train will fill the temple. He’ll fall before the One who sits upon the throne, take the crown from his own head and cast it at His feet. He’ll lift his eyes to the King of all kings and with the passions of an entire nation gathered in one heart, he will cry, “Worthy!”

Surely God the Father will look with great affection upon the pair.
