\u201cThus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.\u201d (Jer. 31:16<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Stephen had been brought up on the mission field. He professed faith in Christ at an early age and had been the means of leading several to the Lord. When he first came back to the States to attend college, he maintained a good testimony. But then he began to drift. Coldness set in. He compromised with sin. Soon he began to dabble in Eastern religions.<\/p>\n When his parents came home on furlough, they were heartsick. They pled, reasoned, and entreated, but he was adamant. Finally they went to visit him where he lived with three others. What they saw there utterly crushed them. They went home and wept bitterly.<\/p>\n They went to bed and tried to sleep but it was useless. Finally at 4 a.m. they decided to get up and have their morning devotions. Ordinarily they would have been reading Jeremiah 31<\/a> on that day, but the husband said, \u201cNot Jeremiah!\u201d thinking that the weeping prophet would have no comfort for them. But the Lord overruled and they turned to Jeremiah 31<\/a>. When they got to the 16th verse, they read, \u201cRefrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n Thousands of Christian parents today are brokenhearted, mourning over rebel sons and daughters. When they pray, the heavens seem like brass. They begin to wonder if God ever can or will restore the backslider.<\/p>\n They should remember that no case is too hard for the Lord. They should continue in prayer, watching in the same with thanksgiving. They should plead the promises of God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n When the mother referred to above wondered if she had been justified in claiming Jeremiah 31:16<\/a>, she read in Isaiah 49:25<\/a>, \u201cI will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.\u201d<\/p>\n \u0b86\u0b95\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 24<\/p>\n \u0ba8\u0bc0

August<\/p>\n \u00bbSo spricht der Herr: Halte deine Stimme zur\u00fcck vorn Weinen und deine Augen\u00a0von Tr\u00e4nen! Denn es gibt Lohn f\u00fcr deine M\u00fche, spricht der Herr: Sie werden aus\u00a0dem Land des Feindes zur\u00fcckkehren.\u00ab\u00a0Jeremia 31,16<\/p>\n Stephen war auf dem Missionsfeld aufgewachsen. Bereits in fr\u00fchen Jahren\u00a0bekannte\u00a0er sich zum Glauben an Christus, und etliche wurden durch ihn zum\u00a0Herrn gef\u00fchrt. Als er in die Vereinigten Staaten kam, um aufs College zu gehen, hielt\u00a0er anfangs ein gutes Zeugnis aufrecht. Aber dann begann er abzudriften. Er wurde\u00a0kalt und gleichg\u00fcltig. Er spielte mit der S\u00fcnde. Bald begann er sich mit \u00f6stlichen\u00a0Religionen einzulassen.<\/p>\n Als seine Eltern auf einen Urlaub nach Hause kamen, brach es ihnen fast das Herz.\u00a0Sie flehten und argumentierten, aber er blieb hart wie Stein. Schlie\u00dflich besuchten\u00a0sie ihn in der Wohnung, wo er zusammen mit drei anderen lebte. Was sie dort sahen,\u00a0gab ihnen den Rest. Sie gingen nach Hause und weinten bitterlich.<\/p>\n Schlie\u00dflich gingen sie zu Bett und versuchten zu schlafen, aber es war nutzlos. So\u00a0beschlossen sie um vier Uhr, aufzustehen und ihre morgendliche\u00a0Stille Zeit zu haben.\u00a0Normalerweise w\u00e4re an diesem Tag Jeremia 31 an der Reihe gewesen, aber der Mann\u00a0sagte: \u00bbNicht Jeremia!\u00ab \u2013 in der Meinung,\u00a0dass der weinende Prophet ihnen keinen\u00a0Trost geben k\u00f6nnte. Doch der Herr behielt die Oberhand, und sie schlugen Jeremia\u00a031 auf. Als sie zum sechzehnten Vers kamen, lasen sie: \u00bbHalte deine Stimme zur\u00fcck\u00a0vom Weinen und deine Augen von Tr\u00e4nen! Denn es gibt Lohn f\u00fcr deine M\u00fche,\u00a0spricht der Herr: Sie werden aus dem Land des Feindes zur\u00fcckkehren.\u00ab<\/p>\n Tausende von christlichen Eltern heutzutage haben gebrochene Herzen und trauern\u00a0\u00fcber rebellische S\u00f6hne und T\u00f6chter. Wenn sie beten, ist der Himmel scheinbar\u00a0wie Erz. Sie fangen an, sich zu fragen, ob Gott den Zur\u00fcckgefallenen jemals wiederherstellen\u00a0kann oder will.<\/p>\n Doch sollten sie daran denken, dass f\u00fcr den Herrn kein Fall zu hart ist und dass sie\u00a0im Gebet anhalten d\u00fcrfen, wachend in demselben mit Danksagung.\u00a0Sie sollten sich\u00a0auf die Verhei\u00dfungen des Wortes Gottes st\u00fctzen.<\/p>\n Als die oben erw\u00e4hnte Mutter sich fragte, ob sie das Recht habe, Jeremia\u00a031,16 als\u00a0Verhei\u00dfung in Anspruch zu nehmen, las sie in Jesaja 49,25: \u00bbUnd ich werde befehden,\u00a0der dich befehdet; und ich werde deine Kinder retten.\u00ab<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 24 \u201cThus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.\u201d (Jer. 31:16) Stephen had been brought up on the mission field.
