For thus says the Lord: Your hurt is incurable, and your wound is grievous. There is none to uphold your cause, no medicine for your wound, no healing for you. All your lovers have forgotten you; they care nothing for you; for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy, the punishment of a merciless foe, because your guilt is great, because your sins are flagrant. Why do you cry out over your hurt? Your pain is incurable. Because your guilt is great, because your sins are flagrant, I have done these things to you. Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured, and all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity; those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will make a prey. For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: ‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’ Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt on its mound, and the palace shall stand where it used to be. ~ Jeremiah 30:12-18
When you go through a season of tribulation and hardships, the Devil will whisper in your ear that God doesn’t care. He’ll tell you that God’s forgotten about you or that God can’t be real because if He was, this wouldn’t have happened. But if we return to God and remain faithful, the LORD will redeem us. We were once separated from God, but now because of the redeeming blood of Jesus, we are called Children of God.
Don’t listen to the lies of the enemy. Don’t look at the circumstance or situation you’re in. Focus on God. Focus on the promises of God. Focus on the love of God. Focus on God. Don’t let anything distract you or separate you from Him. Cling to the LORD, and the LORD will cling to you.
LORD God, please give me the faith to endure any and every season that comes my way. Give me the faith in the good and the bad. Strengthen my faith, LORD God. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
