#soap # Jeremiah 14 ## Title: He Is Among Us ## Scripture: (Jeremiah 14:9) “Why should you be like someone who is helpless, like a champion who cannot save anyone? You are indeed with us, and we belong to you. Do not abandon us!”” (NET) ## Observation: I’ve enjoyed watching mysteries for years. A type of mystery I enjoy is the one where someone has died and someone in the room is guilty. The whole movie involves discovering the villain who is hiding in plain sight. Over the course of the movie, the villain will expose their true intentions. Eventually, it will be unmistakable. This is a bad comparison, but hopefully the point has been made. When we walk through our life, sometimes we act as though God is simply a part of our surroundings. But, over time, we begin to see Him stand out more and more. He is the one who is at the core of the plot. Only, our plot doesn’t involve tragedy. It involves rescue. It is our God who has rescued us from sin and death. He is among us if only we have eyes to see and follow the clues. Eventually, He will stand out as the only Way, Truth, and Life. ## Application: Follow the clues. They lead to the Lord. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being our Grand Architect.
