Christian Devotional – August 14, 2013

VERSE:

Jeremiah 46:28–“Do not be afraid, Jeremiah my servant, for I am with you,” declares the Lord. “Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only in due measure; I will not let you go completely unpunished.”

TRUTH:

Even in the dark times, even in the times where it feels that all hope is lost, God is still in control and there is still a plan. God works to discipline us when we need it, but we can know that He is still with us, even through the difficulties and the disciplines.

RESPONSE:

Father, things are difficult right now and I am feeling overwhelmed. I will trust You and know that You are with me through everything. Plus, everything I go through is designed to bring me closer to You. I will rest in Your plan and know that even though I can’t see the end result through this darkness, You are always there.
