Jeremiah prophesied of a day when Israel would return from being scattered among the nations to the land of promise, a day when their “weary” and “languishing” souls would be “satisfied” and “replenished” by the Lord Himself. And so, Jesus came saying, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matt.11:28-30). It is the Person of Jesus that God has given to satisfy our souls.
“For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.” (Jeremiah 31:25 ESV)
