10/05/2025 – Day 104 – Jeremiah – Chapters 12 – 16 / The Lord declares restoration of the nation of Israel 2500+ years ahead : (Jeremiah 16: 14)/ Therefore, “…just as Jeremiah found, we can know that the faithfulness of our God is infinite; even when we are unfaithful to Him, He remains steadfast (2 Timothy 2:13).
“But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors. See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts instead of obeying me. So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.”
” ‘However, the days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when it will no longer be said,, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt.’ but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors.” Jeremiah 16: 12 – 15

Link above – It is not about the messenger. Check this paragraph out from the link above:
What we learn from the life of Jeremiah is the comfort of knowing that, just like every believer, even great prophets of God can experience rejection, depression, and discouragement in their walk with the Lord. This is a normal part of growing spiritually, because our sinful nature fights against our new nature, that which is born of the Spirit of God, according to Galatians 5:17: “For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.” But, just as Jeremiah found, we can know that the faithfulness of our God is infinite; even when we are unfaithful to Him, He remains steadfast (2 Timothy 2:13).
I don’t have nearly enough faith to be an atheist! The Lord our God is unfathomably powerful; He is perfect love!
