For dear friends who are going through a severe time
of suffering and grief.
Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV)
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Father
there are days in life that seem senseless, futile and useless. Logic is no
help, reason is no comfort and counsel is no hope. It is a pit with no bottom, a
room with no door, and a life with no meaning. Such are some of the desperate
days in which people struggle to survive.
Yet
it is into this gloom of existence that You demonstrate the greatness of Your
glorious wisdom and power. It is the wonder of Your grace achieving Your
purpose, which so often exceeds mere human understanding. We exclaim with the
Apostle Paul: “Oh, the depth of the
riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and
how inscrutable his ways!“
And
Father it is the assuring certainty of our faith in You that enables us to do
more than just survive. It is because of Your promise in Romans 8:28 “And we know
that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who
are called according to his purpose.”
We
praise You Father for triumph in tragedy, through the name of Jesus, who is the
very expression of Your wisdom, power and love. Amen.
Amen
