Jeremiah 30:1-24
‘I am with you to save you’. This, Lord, was Your Word to Your people.
You assured Your people that their ‘captivity’ in Babylon would not last
forever. You gave Your promise to them: ‘I will restore the fortunes of
My people... I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their
fathers’ (Jeremiah 30:10-11,3). ‘I am with you to save you.’ This is
still Your Word to us. You tell us that our ‘captivity’ will not last
forever. Christ has died to ‘free those who all their lives were held in
slavery by their fear of death’. Help us, Lord, to look beyond our
earthly life. Give us a life-changing glimpse of our glorious future -
‘Death’ will be ‘swallowed up in victory.’ ‘Thanks be to God, who gives
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ’. Let us ‘be steadfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in
the Lord, our labour is not in vain’ (Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Corinthians
15:54,57-58).
