King James Version

What does Jeremiah 31:25 mean? β†’

Passage Context

23Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
25For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

Devotional Reflection

HopeGrief

God repeatedly warned His people in Jeremiah's horrific, frightening, and tragic predictions that He would destroy them because they were obstinate and had hard hearts. But, in the midst of these dire warnings, God inserts passages of mercy and hope. The promise of God to "refresh the exhausted and satisfy the weak" is possibly the most reassuring thing you can imagine. For seventy years, Israel had nothing except God's promise. But, when the time came, God honored His word. I believe He will treat us similarly today.

Prayer

Dear Shepherd, I'm exhausted and worn out. Please grant my body and mind some relaxation. Help me to enjoy everything that You have already given me. You alone deserve all praise, strength, and power. I humbly submit to You in faith as I wait for the relaxation and fulfillment You have promised. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
