Fruitful Again

Jeremiah 33:10-11a
10"This is what the Lord say: 'You say about this place, "It is a desolate waste, without men or animals." Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither men nor animals, there will be heard once more 11the sounds of joy and gladness,

The prophet Jeremiah had already pronounced the judgement God had given to His people. The judgement was seventy years of captivity in Babylon. The impending judgement had been called over and over but it was about to arrive. The judgement came because of the sins Judah and Jerusalem had committed against God. The beautiful thing about our Heavenly Father is His anger doesn't last always. Jeremiah was also given the word from God that the judgement would be reversed at the time He appointed. Many would have declared Judah and Jerusalem desolate. Desolate is defined by Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as deserted, abandoned, forsaken, lonely, barren. God can give life to anything He chooses at the time He chooses. And God declared that after seventy years He would have cleansed the people and restored them to the land He promised and the land would be theirs again and they would be joyous. If you have suffered from the choices you made that were against God's ways, you can be restored. If you are in captivity, you can be set free. If you are in a place without life, know that God can bring to life anything He so chooses. His anger over your mistakes won't be always if you confess and repent. You can be fruitful again.
