#soap # Jeremiah 30 ## Title: The Promise We Need Every Day ## Scripture: (Jeremiah 30:10) “So I, the Lord, tell you not to be afraid, you descendants of Jacob, my servants. Do not be terrified, people of Israel. For I will rescue you and your descendants from a faraway land where you are captives. The descendants of Jacob will return to their land and enjoy peace. They will be secure, and no one will terrify them.” (NET) ## Observation: Over and over, God tells the nation of Israel to not be afraid. This is because they faced a fearful future. They had so many obstacles that were coming their way. God knew what was coming. He was reminding them not to lose sight of their true hope in the face of difficulty. That is still true of us as well. There are many battles to fight. There are also many victories to be celebrated. Life is a grand story that paints a picture of God’s faithfulness, over and over again. The goal is not to endure it, but to surf over it with our hope firmly established in the Lord. ## Application: Never allow fear to win. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being greater than all fear.
