Refreshment

I looked up the word "languish" which is taken from the verse I'll focus on today.  If you know the definition in a more detailed way, it'll make the verse more medicinal.

languish: person loses or lacks vitality; grow weak or feeble; fail to make progress or be successful; pine with love or grief; display a sentimentally tender or melancholy expression or tone; suffer from being forced to remain in an unpleasant place or situation.

God is telling Jeremiah what to tell His people Israel.  However, He is my God through Jesus Christ and this loving statement reveals more of the personality of my Father.  And it gives me great comfort, and I praise the Holy Spirit for the enlightening as I read the Word.

"For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes."  Jeremiah 31:25
