(November 25, 2015)
There
is a great deal of hope that I draw from these chapters. Here the people were in a place of great
destruction – and, despite the people being comparatively righteous, they were
still being destroyed because of their wickedness. They were thus brought to a point of mourning
for their losses and fear for their future.
In such a very short period of time, however, they
were changed from that state into a state of joy. The difference, of course, being the hope
that they found in Christ for their future.
Likewise, I understand that I am in a painful and difficult spot right
now (and it feels, at times, as though it will last forever). But just as happened here, the stands ready
to help me to change from mourning to joy if I will only turn to Him and fully
welcome Him into my life.
