Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
The "weary, sorrowful," and indigent state of Israel will prove no obstacle in the way of My helping them.
John Gill Bible Commentary
For I have satiated the weary soul,.... As sinners are at first awakenings and convictions; when sin is made exceeding sinful and loathsome to them, and becomes an uneasiness, and they a burden to themselves on account of it; when they labour, till they are weary, to get food for their famishing souls; weary in seeking for righteousness to cover them, in working for life to save them, and inquiring after rest; but cannot find neither food, nor righteousness, nor life, nor rest, till they come to Christ; and as all the saints are weary of a body of sin and death, with mourning over it, and groaning under it; weary of Satan's temptations and buffetings; weary of the world, and the men of it, and with afflictive dispensations of Providence in it; and are as weary travellers passing through a waste howling wilderness; these the Lord "satiates", refreshes, and even "inebriates" (h), as the word used signifies, with his love; which is very reviving and refreshing, and is a feast of itself; and is very satisfying when it is shed abroad in the heart; when souls have a delightful sense of it, and see their interest in it; particularly satiates with his pardoning grace and mercy, and with food, and fulness of it, in Christ; with righteousness, life, and salvation by him; and with rest, peace, joy, and comfort in him: and this, though a promise and prophecy of what would be, yet, because of the certainty of it, is represented as if it had been done already; as also what follows: and I have replenished every sorrowful soul; that is sorry for sin after a godly sort, and mourns for it after an evangelical manner; is troubled for want of the divine presence, and is pressed with afflictions inward and outward: these the Lord "replenishes" or "fills" (i); that is, with all good, as the Targum adds, and fills them to satisfaction; with Christ, and all good things by him; with peace, pardon, righteousness, and salvation; with the Spirit, his gifts and graces; with Gospel provisions, the goodness and fatness of his house; with all spiritual blessings now, and with glory and happiness hereafter. The Septuagint, and all the Oriental versions, instead of "weary" and "sorrowful", render the words "thirsty and hungry"; and such as hunger and thirst after righteousness; after the discoveries of pardoning grace; after Christ, and salvation by him; after more knowledge of him, and communion with him; are, sooner or later, filled with those things they are hungering and thirsting after; see Mat 5:6. (h) "inebriavi", V. L. Vatablus; "inebriabo", Piscator. (i) "implebo", Schmidt; "explebo", Piscator; "explevero", Junius & Tremellius; "implevero", Cocceius.
Jeremiah 31:25
Mourning Turned to Joy
24And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,25for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”

(John 15 #2) Abiding and Fruitfulness
By Ed Miller1.7K59:30JER 31:25JHN 15:2In this sermon, the preacher uses an illustration of a person learning to dive to explain the Christian life. He compares Christ to the environment in which the diver must learn to live. The preacher shares a personal story of his son's initial dislike for diving due to not understanding how to use his diving apparatus properly. However, once his son learned how to breathe underwater, he began to enjoy diving. The preacher relates this to the importance of Christians learning to "breathe" in Christ and draw from Him in order to grow and bear fruit. The sermon is based on John 15:1-16, where Jesus teaches about the importance of remaining connected to Him, the true vine, in order to bear fruit.
How to Be Refreshed & Renewed
By Shane Idleman755:06Spiritual RenewalRepentanceISA 40:31JER 31:25MAT 11:29ACT 3:19PHP 4:6Shane Idleman emphasizes the necessity for Christians to seek refreshment and renewal through repentance and a deeper relationship with Christ, as illustrated in Acts 3. He discusses the importance of recognizing our need for God's power rather than relying on our own strength or godliness, and how true refreshment comes from acknowledging our sins and turning back to God. Idleman also highlights the significance of being a friend to sinners while maintaining the truth of the Gospel, and the need for believers to actively engage in prayer and fasting to combat spiritual weariness. Ultimately, he calls for a radical change in how we live our faith, urging believers to seek God wholeheartedly to experience true renewal.
