In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
He sets up walls and ramparts for security. Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter,
The one that remains faithful.

The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.

Trust in the LORD forever,
For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock. (Is 26:-4)

good morning, everyone :)

"Do you seek great things for yourself?"
​
Jeremiah 14:5​
Are you seeking great things for yourself? Not seeking to be a great one, but seeking great things from God for yourself. God wants you in a closer relationship to Himself (rather) than (just) receiving His gifts, He wants you to get to know Him. A great thing is accidental, it comes and goes. God never gives us anything accidental. There is nothing easier than getting into a right relationship with God except when it is not God Whom you want but only what He gives.
If you have only come the length of asking God for things, you have never come to the first strand of abandonment, you have become a Christian from a standpoint of your own. "I did ask God for the Holy Spirit, but He did not give me the rest and the peace I expected." Instantly God puts His finger on the reason - you are not seeking the Lord at all, you are seeking something for yourself. Jesus says - "Ask, and it shall be given you." Ask God for what you want, and you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things. "Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him." Then why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Are you seeking great things for yourself? "O Lord, baptize me with the Holy Spirit." If God does not, it is because you are not abandoned enough to Him, there is something you will not do. Are you prepared to ask yourself what it is you want from God and why you want it? God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection. He is not concerned about making you blessed and happy just now; He is working out His ultimate perfection all the time - "that they may be one even as We are."

You too Jak......God bless......


Hmm..........I can't help but notice that the Miscellaneous Forum is becoming more and more a pseudo Bible Discussion Forum. What's up with that?

Just wondering............not complaining...... :)

Maybe we need to tidy up in there and rename it the No discussion forum
(I know that some other sites specify very clearly where one can debate and where one can't)
... then of course it depends if people respect it :p

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. (Phil 2:5-7)

morning, all :)

i get to play with my grandbabies today!! :) :)

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 1:3-6 (NIV)

So many times sincere believers feel anxious about where they stand in life. How do I know that I’m in God’s will? How can I be sure that I haven’t missed something along the way? Paul assures the Philippian church and the church today that God is ultimately in control. He is able to hold us to Him better than we are onto better than we are able to hold onto Him.
