In The Midst Of

Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.   Jeremiah 33:6

By now you will likely not need a reminder of why I might be looking up verses and passages on healing or health in the Word of God. This Covid thing is tough and long lasting. If you have not taken the pandemic seriously by now, then my testimony likely won't help to change your mind. However, you may watch a video of a church service on Facebook from last Sunday, as many of us did, and rejoice as the pastor leads and preaches a service all alone with God in the church. That should tell you beyond any testimony of mine that something is quite wrong in the land. 

There was something wrong in Israel back in Jeremiah's day, and his ministry is interesting in how the Lord sends messages much like the one in our verse for today in the midst of prophecies of woe and destruction. There is also that one in the Lamentations about His mercies being new every morning. It is a mercy to be reading of the coming destruction of Jerusalem and then right in the midst comes this promise of healing and health and a revelation of peace and truth. In the Revelation, God sends His two witnesses in the midst of such terrible judgments that their message will surely stand out like a light in the darkness. Just like the light of the world that came that night in Bethlehem! 

Pray for one another in Christ our Lord,
