Out of depression and defeat, into vigour and victory
Jeremiah’s message had been ignored. His faith was sorely tested.
Despite all of this, he was able to say, “Sing to the Lord! Praise the
Lord!” (Jeremiah 20:13). This was not his constant theme. In the very
next verse, he says, “Cursed is the day that I was born.” We are pulled
this way and that way by a turmoil of confused and confusing emotions.
Our heart is a battleground. May the Lord lift us out of depression and
defeat. May He lift us into vigour and victory.
