I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart. — Jeremiah 24:7
After all, He is the Lord.
We will be His people, and He will be our God.
We will return to the Lord with all our hearts.
Just three weeks ago, this Plumeria looked a bit sad.
But with regular care, Kirk was able to revive it.
Here it was last week.
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth. — Isaiah 55:10
The water makes the ground bud and flourish.
As a result, the earth yields seed for the sower and bread for those who eat.
So God's Word goes out from His mouth.
It does not return to Him empty.
Yesterday it rained at our house.
It was also raining in Phoenix, when Ernie drove in.
Cool, refreshing rain.
What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? — Psalm 116:12
He has blessed me over and over.
In spite of the wrong things I say and do.
He continues to guide and direct me.
To lead me in the path toward Him.
What shall I give Him for all His goodness to me?
He needs nothing.
All He asks is for my obedience.
That I glorify Him with my words and actions.
Help me, Lord, to follow You.
What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. — Psalm 116:12-13
I have been looking for a new writer to join our team at work.
Today we found our new writer after a six-month search.
Next week we celebrate Thanksgiving.
But we give thanks to God each day.
For giving us salvation and for loving us so much.
We praise the name of the Lord.
