Stay in the fight

Jeremiah was weary and frustrated (Jer 12:5). The Lord’s help seemed to be unreliable (Jer 15:18). In spite of how Jeremiah was feeling, the Lord did not excuse him from his calling. He told him to endure. God promised to take care of Jeremiah. He commanded Jeremiah to return to him for restoration that would enable continue service (Jer 15:19). Resting is not quitting. Returning to the Lord is refitting for renewed battle. We are not home yet; the battle is not yet won. I think that as long as we draw breath the Lord expects us to stay in the fight. Quitting is not an option (Heb 12:1-3).
