Why Settle For Less?

Why Settle For Less?

Posted on January 3, 2017July 26, 2025 by Eddie Jones

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.

Blessed is the man … who delights in the law of the Lord. Whatever he does, prospers. Psalms 1: 1&3

Lord, I claim the promise of this blessing and ask that you lead me to your definition of prosperous. 

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord – whose confidence is in him. He never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17: 7&8

Help me to bear fruit for you today!


Lord, Teresa was diagnosed in Oct, 2016 with 2 types (DCIS and HER2) of breast cancer. She is now undergoing radiation treatments. She lost her husband to cancer in May of 2015. She was a stay at home mom when her husband passed away and does not have a job. I ask that she may complete her cancer treatments and for you to provide the funds necessary for her to pay the hospital bills.

Brenda needs good health, much love and laughter. Please bring Yourself back into her life.Brenda feels like you have forgotten her. Help her to find peace.

Sherrie needs Medicaid to approve the medication she needs. Otherwise, her  fatal disease may be too much for her.

    Thank you for your prayers and I am believing with you that they have been heard and the answer is already in the works. I also pray for the others mentioned.

    May the Blessings of the Lord overtake you all! “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God: Deuteronomy 28:1-2

Sundays, you’ll find the Pirate Preacher in Moore Square, Raleigh, NC, and at the bus station. There, Team Jesus passes out food, water, chips, and cookies. We also lay hands on and pray with other so they may enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised (John 10:10). His books are read by countless inmates and used to introduce others to Christ. Sometimes he’s asked to speak encouragement to others.
