It
is important to know where we are and where God Is. Where am I in
relation to where God desires me to be? I personally feel the need to
press on, press in, press through the opposition of the enemy into
the good that God has for me and all that I may influence.
Jer.
29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the
LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected
end.”
God
has “good” planned for those who will answer His call to
discipleship. He has a promised (secured) end or divine heritage. We
need not question our finish if only we will listen to the voice of
God.
Jer.
29:12, “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto
me, and I will hearken unto you.”
Oh,
to call upon God, to seek His face and hear and see His answer. He
promises to hear and respond (hearken). Our challenge is to clearly
perceive His response.
Jer.
29:13, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for
me with all your heart.”
“...ye
shall seek me, and find me...” God is always available. He is
always with us. But we must have the sense of His presence to
recognize His voice and to understand what he is doing or planning to
do. God's promise is that we will find Him when we search for Him
with all our heart. The human condition requires the intervention of
our creator. We always stand in need of God's assistance. The
question is, “Do we really want his help?” Are willing to
relinquish control of our lives to Him. He knows the way I take (the
path I should follow) and will direct my steps accordingly.
God
has a plan for us. A plan for good and not evil. He has an expected
(secured) finish for His people. Lord, I want to search for you with
all my heart. I don't want anything to interfere with me pleasing
you!
