Why Settle For Less?

Why Settle For Less?Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.~Jeremiah 42:3

Father, please guide my steps and thoughts today.

Whether it is favorable or unfavorable, we will obey the Lord our God. ~ Jeremiah 42:6

Help me to obey your commands and instructions — no matter where they lead.

If you do as I say, I will build you up and not tear you down. I will plant you and not uproot you. Do not be afraid. I am with you. I will save you and deliver you. I will show compassion on you. I will restore you. But … all who are determined to go and settle … not one of them will survive or escape disaster.~Jeremiah 42: 10-12 & 17

Father, help me to settle for your best, regardless of how hard the circumstances may be. Build me up.

Through Your Own Fault …

Through Your Own Fault ...Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. Jeremiah 17:4

Lord, it’s my fault. It’s always my fault. Even when I think it’s not, it is. I’m blind to my mistakes and close my eyes to my sins. Father, forgive me for the errors of my ways. Fix my faults.

Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will not see prosperity when it comes. Jeremiah 17:5-6.

I, the Lord, reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve. Jeremiah 17:10 So whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though working for the Lord, not men. Colossians 3:23
