No One Is Insignificant

Well, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Welcome to coffee and devotions this morning. We're going to talk about Jer just three verses Let's figure out who this guy is. You want to have some coffee? You're gonna have water. All right, we'll have some coffee.
We'll pray and we'll get into God's Word Yeah, let's pray God we thank you so much for this day. Thank you for your word Thank you for the joy of your salvation God, we pray that your Holy Spirit would please teach us this morning. Help us to know who you are. Help us to walk in your ways in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, here we go. Judges, let me grab my Bible over here.
Chapter 10, verses three through five. After him arose Jer, a Gileadite. And his. He judged Israel 22 years. Now, He had 30 sons who rode on 30 donkeys. They also had 30 towns which are called Havoth Ger to this day. which are in the land of Gilead. And Jer died and was buried in Camelot.
So, we got three questions. What do we need to ask ourselves? What's this about? And what is the New Testament? What's the best verse to summarize and see what are we? All to do. All to do. And I'm gonna die. You're not gonna die. Okay, so what was this about? Well, there's a there's a judge that's a that arises and his this is a seventh judge and his name is Do you remember? Nope. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
So his name is Jer and and do you remember how many sons he had? Twenty-two. Thirty! Thirty sons! And you know what they rode on? Thirty donkeys. Whoa! And do you remember how many towns they had? Thirty. Was it thirty towns? Was it thirty, thirty, thirty, you think? Thirty donkeys. And they also had thirty towns! You're right! Thirty towns! And? Do you remember what the towns were called? Uh, no. How about here? Wait, that's only one town. They were all called the same thing.
City of Jer. City of Jer. City of Jer. Town of Jer. Yep. And they're all in the land of Gilead. That's like on the other side of the Jordan River. Yeah, Daddy, do you have one of those microphones? I do have one of those microphones. Yeah, but why is it the white thing? Well, I don't have one of those.
And Jer died and was buried in Camman. So he judged Israel for 22 years. Have you been alive 22 years? Has Nathan? Nope. Right, so he was a judge for a long time, right? Yeah, but here, Jer is a judge for a long time. And this is all we know about him. He has all these boys, he has all these towns. And he judges for a period of time. And then he dies. He's buried. And then his sons get married and they die. Well, we don't know about his sons.
Maybe they'll be later. Daddy, which one comes next? Which son comes next? Well, we'll have to read next time to see, but I don't think there's a Gileadite who rises up next. His name is Jephthah, but it's kind of a different story. Yep, that's kind of a sad story. Maybe some other time. Sound good? Okay, so best verse. Well, I think verse 3 in my Bible.
And then what are we called to do? Right? Hey, are you little? Are you little? Kind of. So do you think that you are insignificant to God? Do you think you're unimportant? Or does God know about you, care for you, and even use you? Sometimes. Yeah. Does God have plans for your life? Sometimes. I think all the time, right? Yeah, God has big plans for your life. Sometimes He don't. Oh, yes. But not everybody gets big, huge stories, right? Yeah, like one time I beat Bart and he didn't even give me anything. You didn't give you anything to do? Well, that sounds like a good day to me. It'd be boring. You got sweaty and then you just sit there and never did anything.
Yeah, but was God watching over you even then? Yeah. Yeah, there's no small person to God. So Judah's not a small person? Not to God. He's very important to God. Yes, Judah is. He is a very cute baby, isn't he? So, do you think... He's half you and half mommy. Actually, he says mommy because he's got brown eyes, not blue eyes. Okay.
Well, my whole point here is, was God caring for the Israelites? Yes, he was caring for the Israelites. And did God use Jer? Yes, and even though there's not much known about him was he important Yes, absolutely right every single one of God's sheep are important to him Yeah, even that stinky one that goes like the 99 will pay attention but there's just that one that will go astray He even goes and gets that one Hmm I don't think he cares for Satan. I think he keeps an eye on Satan, but he's not one of his children. What? Yeah, he's not. No, he's a fallen angel. He's an adversary. A bad angel? Somebody who has pride and doesn't want to worship the Lord. Knows he's God, but hates him.
Hey, you ready to pray? Let's pray. God, we thank you so much for knowing that you care for even the sparrows who fall from the trees. Lord, you watch over us, every one of us, and we pray, God, that we would trust you. We pray, Lord, that you would please help us to walk in your ways. Lord, we pray that we would, no matter how small or great, that we would do your will. In Jesus' name, amen. May God bless you. May you walk in the love of Jesus Christ, you also. And oh, thank you, and we'll see you next time. I said bye Well, I like mommy better than me too. I say bye. Bye
