Reading: Jeremiah 24 - 27
My Verse: 27:5 "I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth by My great power and by My outstretched arm and I give it to whomever it seems right and suitable to Me."
Wow! God is indeed awesome. I never realized how often He makes this statement. Lord, You come out plainly and clearly state Who You are, the Almighty Lord God, Creator of the universe. Isaiah 40:28 says, "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; . . ."
You also say over and over through your prophets how we each of us are answerable for the life we choose to live. You repeatedly warn us. " Yet, you have not listened to and obeyed Me, says the Lord. . ." (v.25:7). "If you will not listen to and obey Me, to walk in My Law, which I have set before You. (v. 26:4). ". . . and I will recompense [all of] them according to their deeds and according to the work of their [own] hands." (v. 25:14).
As the Creator God, You demand from each of us a personal, responsible response to You. You tell us "I am the door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved." (John 10:9)
This brings out of me so much respect for You, Lord. Love, respect and reverence! As I read and search through Your Word I find myself so uplifted! I keep finding 'new' truths and it is quite wonderful. Thank you, Lord, for Your word, the Bible.
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
