“For I have set My face against this city for adversity and not for good,” says the Lord. “It shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.” Jeremiah 21:10
We Christians are fond of saying, “The Lord is in control”. But what do we actually mean when we say that? How are we comforted? Strengthened? I’m afraid that, sometimes at least, we mean little more than a Christian version of “It’ll be alright”. A Christian colloquialism.
The Lord is in control. We are comforted and strengthened when we remind ourselves of that reality. Comforted when our cross seems too heavy to bear. Strengthened to continue to bear it. Carry your cross, Christian and follow. Follow hard.
