In today’s reading, David Jeremiah brings us to Isaiah 61:7 as our scripture to contemplate. As you read the reading David provides, you will see that God intends for good to come to us who follow His ways. God does not want us confused and, His word, when studied and applied to our lives, will bring us peace. As the world around us brings us uncertain times, and we try to make sense of it, most times what we really need to do is put it all in the hands of the Lord and calm our anxious minds and souls. Take care of your mind, body, and soul by staying in prayer and rising above the woes of this world, reminding yourself you are fearfully and wonderfully made, (Psalm 139 versus 13 and 14), and God has a purpose and plan for every life He creates, (Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11), and that includes you. We are to remember we are in this world but we are not of this world as our home is in heaven for those of us who have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. In John chapter 17 verse 14, Jesus reminds his disciples, “they do not belong to this world, just as I do not belong to this world”, He said. We as Christians can be assured that heaven awaits us when our journey through this world is complete. Our work on earth is to let people know about Jesus, His marvelous ways and to live for Him, and invite everyone to Him. Do not copy the ways of the world, but rather, copy Jesus and His ways. Confusion and doubt will disappear and contentment will bring peace which goes beyond what we can understand.
David says, in the last paragraph of the reading,
"Follow Him with a sense of wonder and marvel at His ways and means. To you, it’s perplexity. To Him, it’s Providence."
Well said David, thank you. Now, let’s rejoice in our Lord whose word and promise we can build a strong life upon, looking forward to every new tomorrow in Him.
Have a glory filled week.
