“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you in your latter end a hope. And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you; and ye shall seek me and find me, for ye shall search for me with all your heart, and I will be found of you, saith Jehovah.” Jeremiah 29:11-14a (DBY)
God considers me with good and peaceful thought so that I might have hope to the end. Hope is a powerful motivator. In hope, I call up God and he will take my call. In hope, I focus all my heart on finding him and he promises me that he will not hide from me. Wow! What a wonderful friend he is.
Dear Father, thank you for being my friend. Thank you for allowing me to find you. Help me to seek you earnestly not allowing any obstacles to impede my search. Forgive me for the times I have made you compete for my attention. Help me to search often for your communion. In Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN
Let us praise God for his friendship and live in communion with him,
Pastor Smith
