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 – Judges 13:18

Judges 13:18 “Why do you ask my name?” the angel of the Lord replied. “It is too wonderful for you to understand.”

Daily D – Judges 3:4

Judges 3:4 These people were left to test the Israelites—to see whether they would obey the commands the Lord had given to their ancestors through Moses.

Daily D – Judges 2:10

Judges 2:10 After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel.

Daily D – Joshua 21:45

Joshua 21:45 Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true.

Daily D – Joshua 14:10-13

Joshua 14:10-13 “Now, as you can see, the LORD has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then. So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the LORD is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the LORD said.”
So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land.
