This is an interesting note with which to end this book. Remember, however, that this is Jeremiah's journal, and as such he is journaling his feelings and struggles honestly before the Lord. The high point of his journal is not here but rather in the "great is your faithfulness" passage of chapter 3. Nevertheless, notice the high position that Jeremiah ascribes to the Lord in verses 19 and 21. Verse 21 reminds me of the song, "Change My Heart, O God." But notice that when God changes us, we shall be truly changed. Can you pray verse 21 for yourself?
