Is There an End to the Storm?

Harold J. Sala - A well-known speaker

Is There an End to the Storm, Tough times pass, but tough people - those who are focused on what God says about our lives - endure.

Such a man was the prophet Jeremiah. His beloved country, Israel, was about to be overthrown by Babylon. Jeremiah had to announce this prophecy, a message that was denounced as "unpatriotic and traitorous."

Yes Jeremiah looked beyond the external events and heard the voice of God. Yes, Israel would go into captivity for seventy years. But God promised restoration. "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'" (Jeremiah 29:11).

So certain was Jeremiah that God would keep His word, that he bought a piece of property that lay in default, burying the title deed in a jar so that when the troubles had passed, he could come back and claim the property (see Jeremiah 32).

Your life may seem like a catastrophe, but the story is not yet finished. You can lean on God and say, "I trust You Lord, so please walk with me today."
