Song Of The Day |
Jeremiah
29:13 is a Bible
verse from the Old Testament that reminds
us to put our hope in God alone.
We
can fool
ourselves quite easily into thinking that God is first
in our hearts.
We want
to (and we intend to) keep Him first. Our actions display it as we go
through the
routine of our daily devotion time and attending church.
We
have a
burden for righteousness to win out and for evil to be defeated. We
love God
and pray
frequently. We minister to others and teach
Biblical
principles to our
children.
Sometimes
it takes a jolt to wake us up to a deeper
truth hidden in our hearts.
Psalm
43:3 says, “O send out Your light and Your truth, let them
lead me…”
In
Jesus
Christ, we are all winners--perfect and polished. Yet we seek
God to
continually develop and become more like Christ, which is God’s command
in Jeremiah
29:13, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me
with all
your heart.”
The
longer
we seek Christ the more truth He reveals,
which is more of Himself. There are times when the
brightness
of His reflection uncovers something in us that had been hidden in the
dark,
which must be pushed out of its hiding place.
“For the Word of God is
living
and powerful,
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of
soul and
spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and
intents of the heart.” Hebrews
4:12
As
our
hearts conform more and more to look like
His, the scalpel must do its
meticulous
work to delicately cut away little pieces of our hearts to surgically
remove the things
that don’t look like His.
Though
it
can be very uncomfortable or even painful, He is ever so gentle in His
work.
He
adores
your commitment in cultivating
faithfulness toward Him. He is rewarding
you, though
at times it does not feel like it. Psalm 24:5 says,
“He
shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And
righteousness from the God of his salvation.”
When
healing takes place, we reflect the beauty
of His righteousness,
His purity
and truth. Then we will enjoy the peaceable fruit of righteousness
because we
have come face-to-face with Him, and lived. 2
Corinthians 4:6 says,
“For
it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our
hearts to give the
light of the
knowledge of the
glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Study
the
Bible verse of Jeremiah 29:13 to seek God with all your heart, and
rejoice in
finding Him.
