Day 17: When You Need Peace

It’s no secret that God will often call His children to do difficult things. Things which, in and of ourselves, might seem almost impossible. This is, of course, nothing new, as we see in these verses from Jeremiah.

Jeremiah was called to prophesy to a nation whom he already knew were not going to listen. God’s word wasn’t about to change just because the people did, and so He required someone to speak it, even if it would fall on ‘deaf ears’. Can you imagine being called to such a task? No wonder Jeremiah is often referred to as the weeping prophet.

There’s certainly something we can learn from Jeremiah’s life, though. When a call seems hard, may we remind ourselves of the words God spoke to Jeremiah – ‘…for I am with you to deliver you.’ No matter how tough things get, He’ll never leave nor forsake you. Whatever your ‘hard place’ is today, give it to God and trust that even when we don’t, He knows what He’s doing.

Food for Thought: What difficult calling or situation are you facing right now? Write a prayer asking God to help you remember He is with you.
