Rejoice the Lord will bring us back

Jeremiah 24:6 - For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

When the Israelites were set free from Egypt, the distance to the Promised Land was not more than 15 days. But since their hearts were not right and they had not surrendered themselves to the Lord, for they had in the back of their mind to turn back to their old ways; therefore the Lord took them through a very long journey which lasted 40 years.

Since each one of us called by the Lord, do not have the ability to totally surrender our hearts to the Lord therefore we go through experiences in life. These experiences mold us and bring us to surrender. Through these difficult moments the Lord does not leave us but hold us up and strengths us. Even half way through the process the Lord has mercy on us and turns our situations to bless us.

Today's mail is one such message of mercy for many. For many have a reason to rejoice, our good days are at hand. Our merciful Lord is going to change our circumstances and prosper us. Just keep holding on to Him.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Lord, I thank You for your mercy and grace. In your anger You lead us through problems but because of your mercy and grace You deliver us and bless us. Your love wants to see us with You and I thank You for your love. Amen.


[ Reference Scriptures ]

Jeremiah 24:4-7
4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Nahum 1:7
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others.
