I will come to give rest to Israel. Jeremiah 31: 2
God is speaking through Jeremiah the prophet.
He is speaking of the time after the exile.
That is going to give rest to His people.
Meaning He is going to bring them out of exile.
Meaning He is going to bring healing.
Meaning He is going to take away the trial, this season of separation, the season of oppression.
Meaning they will have learned what they needed to learn in exile, Then they will be who they are supposed to be.
That they will then fulfill what they are supposed to fulfill.
Just like God did for Job.
His trial ended and He was brought comfort and blessings.
Just like God did for Joseph.
He was brought out of slavery into the palace.
Just like God did for Nebuchadnezzar.
He was brought out from the oppression of his mind to sanity and better than he was before.
All them going though a trial that cut them back.
All of them going through a season of humbling.
All of them getting to either prove their faith, deepen their faith, or find faith in Him.
All people go through seasons of exiles, trials.
Jesus got to prove His faith too.
While Jesus is God, He got to show humanity, people the perfect faith God required for us.
And show us that only He could have that perfect faith.
Its why He came.
That we would have humanity redeemed.
God walking as a man.
That He fulfill perfect faith for us.
And in our trials we get to see Him better.
In our trials we get to understand His heart better.
In our trials we get empathize for all that He did for us.
Seeing how hard it is.
Realizing how fast and furiously we fail at doing it right.
Making us recognize that He is so beautiful.
That He is so good.
That He is the best gift.
And all that He offers us is so wonderful.
For He went through the greatest trial, the greatest suffering, the exile.
For He God himself, submitted to human authority.
And didn’t break any laws.
For He God Himself, stood up for the needy and yet never had a sinful thought against those harming Him and others.
For He God Himself allowed us to slander Him, reject Him, and kill Him, not only surrendering but authorizing this suffering in His own life, that we could be made free with Him, today and in eternity, loved, connected, comforted, and blessed in more ways than I can fill on this page.
May we know that we know that we know that after we go through trials, suffering though exiles, pains and upsets, we will have either found Jesus, or found a greater wisdom and faith in Him and from Him.
May we know that we know that we know each trial is meant to bless us, getting us either to one the know who brings us life forever, or getting to know Him better, that we have this peace and joy today truly seeing Him for all He is.
May we know that we know that we know God is always good and He is always working for our good, even when it doesn’t feel good.
