It's Almost Time

Jeremiah 31:16
16 This is what the LORD says:
"Restrain your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,
for your work will be rewarded,"
declares the LORD.
"They will return from the land of the enemy.

In the scripture above the Lord is using the prophet Jeremiah to help the people understand that they will not be in exile forever. They will be rewarded for their obedience and the Lord will make them fruitful.

We often go through so much and sometimes it feels as though we will never see the end of a struggle or trial but the Lord wants us to know that if we continue to stay the course that he's laid out for us, he will not only see it to the end but he will reward us for our hard work.
Jeremiah 31:9b
I will lead them beside streams of water
on a level path where they will not stumble,

The hard part for many of us is being obedient through the turbulent times and not giving up. We want so much to end our suffering but if we quit too soon, then not only do we not learn the lesson that was meant for us but the reward will not come either. How sad to miss an inheritance because of our impatience.

Don't fret because it's almost time!!!
