Safe in his arms- God's compassion for us

This blog post was inspired by a Phil Wickham song called Safe.  The premise behind it is that we as Christians will be safe in his arms.  One of the verses is one of the promises he made to be with you always.  That verse has  stuck with me in the past week going through a hard time in my life.  He will be with me through whatever I'm going through.  He will never leave me or forsake me despite my failings or frustration.  I have been reading Jeremiah in the Bible for the past month or so.  It has been real good.  The past couple chapters I have been have been the best for me and have shown why God is who he is.  He has compassion on the people despite their sin and apostasy.  The people of Judah and Isarel rejected God and his commands.  The worshiped foreign idols instead of the one true God in heaven and earth.  They burned incense to worship.  They disobeyed all God has commanded them to do.  God was sad because of their sin and rebellion but he had a bigger plan.  God tells Israel they will be rebuilt in verse four of Chapter 31 of Jeremiah.  God tells the people in chapter 29 verse 10 he will send them into captivity in Babylon for 70 years and after that restore them back after that time.  Jeremiah verse 11 said, "For I know that plans I have for you,"declares the Lord,"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and future."   God promised the people he will be with them always and he has compassion on them despite their sins against him.  In Chapter 32, verses 30 and 31 God expresses his frustration with the people and how they turned their back on him all these years.  He says in verses 39-41 of how he will restore the people.  "I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me for their own good and good of their own children after them. 40 I will make a everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from them.  41 I will rejoice in doing  them good and assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul." He also reminds the people and Jeremiah he will restore the people after their 70 year exile. This long quotation from the one true God in heaven and earth shows me that he is faithful despite what we have done or are going through in our life at the time.  He is in control of what we are going through.  He knows what we are doing, when we will do it, before we do it, and even knows what we are thinking every minute of the day.
