The prophet Jeremiah spoke of a promise and agreement from God to His people after dragging them away to captivity in Babylon. He promised a new era of peace that would last forever, and it was to be accompanied by His Righteous Branch. This was to be none other than Christ Jesus Himself.

At the end of God’s trials comes blessing. If we persevere and trust God, He will bring us out to a much better place.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. [Prov. 30:5]
