God will make my mountains come down low and my valleys raise up in order that I may know Him better. Isaiah 40:4 May HE glorify Himself.
He is not lowering my mountains to make life better for me. It could get a whole lot worse than it is. In Jeremiah 45:5, God's Message to Baruch:
"Things are going to get worse before they get better." Do not seek great things for yourself. God is the One adding sorrow to my pain. Don't sit around planning how you can make a huge impact. Baruch says that God is piling on the pain. His Plan will not be thwarted.
Meanwhile back to Jeremiah 43, the army officers call Jeremiah a "liar." And Jeremiah responds in Jer 44:7 "This is the Message of God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel: 'So why are you ruining your lives by amputating yourselves from life, leaving yourselves isolated, unconnected?
Is God speaking to our lives today? How are we isolating ourselves from others in the name of religion? How are we disconnected from our husbands, our children, our friends?
