Grace for your spirit
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." Lamentations 3:24
Jeremiah was called to be the prophet to God's people. He sacrificed everything to warn his people and encouraged them to repent. At the end of his life it looked like he had failed completely. Jerusalem was destroyed, the people were carried away, and Jeremiah was in distress. In his Lamentation, he wrote of his sorrow and consolation from God. He stated that the steadfast love of the Lord and His mercy never ceases. All he needed was the Lord, and that portion was enough. In times of loss and discouragement, may we remember that the Lord is our portion and that is plenty for us.
