an earthen jar

IMG_1541Jeremiah 32

If Jeremiah ever doubted that God would make good his promise to restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, all he had to do was look at the jar containing the deeds to the land he purchased.  It was a visible symbol of the goodness and faithfulness of God in the time of his wrath.  Bad things will happen in this life, and sometimes the LORD will not stop them, because he is the one who caused them for his own purposes.  During those times, we need to remember our future, a bright future in which the LORD will restore the fortunes of his people.

LORD, help us to keep the long term in focus, remembering your promises.
