Jeremiah 29:11
James 1:12-17
Lamentations 3:22-26
Following Jesus never guarantees a convenient life but rather that in whatever trials we face whether privileged or not, King Jesus never abandons us. He will see us to a glorious end. I know for a fact that in God's mercy that He will never leave me even when I temporarily leave Him. Regarding Lamentations 3: 25-26 I take this as God willingly responding with help when we ask of Him, so even if I feel like my sinful habit have gone too far I'm reminded that God is greater. There's no way too deep to plead for help with a genuine heart. However even though I don't want to be complacent I still sin often but I want to be fruitful. Whether an official leader or not, I want to lead others to Christ.
Jeremiah the author of Lamentations wrote this book regarding the destruction of Jerusalem. He knew knew from experience that God is faithful and that He would punishment would follow disobedience. God did however promise restoration and blessings. I guess I can take comfort in this, King Jesus help me!
