For thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land At this time, And will cause them distress, That they may be found.” Jeremiah 10:18 NASB
“I will cause them distress, that they may be found (Lit. find)
What is it that the Lord wants us to find?
I know, O Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. Correct me, O Lord, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. Jeremiah 10:23-24 NASB
Realize that we can do nothing, have nothing, are nothing without God. After all, He is the one who created us.
When we wander too far into ourselves we are lost and become dependent upon ourselves. It is at this time God saves us through His justice and punishment. Calling us to repentance and surrender to His will and purpose.
🌹 Are we still fighting the Almighty or surrendering to His will, His way, His purpose?
Continually Seeking Him,
