by David Bowman | Jun 23, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

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 – Lamentations 3:19-27

Lamentations 3:19-27
“I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.”

Daily D – Job 40:8

Job 40:8 “Would you discredit my justice?
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?”

Daily D – Job 35:16

Job 35:16 “So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;
without knowledge he multiplies words.”

Daily D – Job 32:1-5

Job 32:1-5 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God. He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he. But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.

Daily D – Job 31:1

Job 31:1 “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.”
