I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. — Jeremiah 31:25
In the overwhelming, hair-raising, and depressing prophecies of Jeremiah, God repeatedly told his people he would destroy them for their obstinate and hardened hearts. Yet in the middle of these powerful and scorching warnings, God also slips in passages that soar with hope and grace. Can you think of anything more reassuring than God's promise to "refresh the weary and satisfy the faint"? For seventy years, that's all Israel had — God's promise. But when the time came, God made good on his word. I believe he will do the same with us today!
Significance of Peace
. Peace raises righteousness
James 3:18
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
. Blessed are the peacemakers
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Pornography
Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
Mystery
Daniel 2:22
He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
