Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.” (CSB)

Jeremiah 29:12-14 “When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God’s Decree. “I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you”—God’s Decree—“bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.” (CSB)

It’s Sunday, the day of worship and rest for Christians around the world.

This chapter of Jeremiah’s collected and recollected prophecies (See Jeremiah 36) is a favorite of many. Verse 11 is found in many homes and offices. Verse 7 is pondered by many pastors. This verse is treasured by those who deepen their practice of the discipline of prayer.

This letter is written to an exiled group of people. These words are not solely for individuals. Something special happens when groups of people pray with a common focus. Jesus said this could be as few as two or three. (See Matthew 18:19, 20.) This is also true for twenty or thirty, two hundred or three hundred, two thousand or three thousand.

People who pray together with a common purpose, seeking God’s will and ways, reach God’s heart. They experience his presence and power.

Today is a good day to attend worship and not only hear someone else pray, but to join in prayer with full attention and complementary prayers of your own.

Those who seek God, find him. Those who seek his will and ways know them. Those who trust him with all their hearts experience him.

—

I will pray with those who seek God with all their hearts.

—

Our Father, help us focus our prayers in concert with others. Teach us to pray them with all of our hearts. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
