Thoughts for another day

April 2, 2013.

Today's verse: Jer. 31:25. I will satisfy the weary, and all who are faint I will replenish. (NRSV – copyright ack.)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Many and full are the promises of the Lord God toward His people.  We read so many promises God made, both Himself in the Old Testament and Jesus Christ made in the New Testament.  We need to remember that the promises God made to various people are also extendable to us who follow Him and worship Him as God.  And that’s because God’s promises are for all His children, no matter which century they were born in or what circumstances they were born in.

Today’s Scripture has a promise that should help us find God’s support when we’re weary and His strength when we’re drained of all our strength, plunged to the earth with not an idea of how we will be able to pass over the day.  It’s then that this promise of God must come to our minds and find root in our hearts.  Then our minds will be released from the ominousness that the enemy of souls wants us to be gripped with and then shall we be free as the Son of Man wanted us to be.  We must realise that unless Jesus Christ engraves victory in our lives, we may struggle all we can but we will still not find the victory we crave.

This much we must remember that the Lord our God is always near.  He is just a cry, a tear-drop away and He is always willing to help those who reach out to Him for help.  With Him is immense power that can endure the most devastating barbs that the enemy of souls uses against the children of God.  Therefore, move near and meld in Him and feel His comfort even as He replenishes you with His abundance.
