If thou hast run with footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, wherin thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan.Jeremiah 12:5 KJV
The prophet Jeremiah had been enduring some hardships. But God lets him know that this was just a small taste of things to come.
Maybe you have been experiencing things similar to what Jeremiah experienced. We just have to stir up our faith. Believe this, if you have felt like you’ve been burnt with a match or two, it’s only to prepare you for the blow torch that may be coming. God knows what each of us needs to prepare us for things to come. God will never let you be unprepared. The things your dealing with today are preparing you for the things to come. Keep believing God has a plan.
