““The LORD is righteous, For I rebelled against His commandment.
Lamentations 1:18 a
The first step in getting right with God is to admit you are a sinner! Here we see the author who is speaking on behalf of Judah who is in captivity to Babylon doing that very thing!
May we be wise and do the same!

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
II Corinthians 1:3-4
Oh how many times have I received the comfort of God! Thank you Lord. May I and you use the comfort God gives us to comfort others who will go through the same situations we have faced. It is a beautiful thing to love and comfort others and thus pass on the love of God!

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;”
I Peter 3:15
As a follower of Jesus we are to be able to tell others why we believe what we believe. Our Hope-Jesus! Can you? Do you?
Chew on that and act on it!

“Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.””
John 21:20-22
A reminder to all of us to mind our business and do what God has willed for us!!!

“giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,”
Ephesians 5:20
Have you given thanks lately for all things to God?
Chew on that today!
Tom
Seen this a few weeks ago. Wanted to share it with you:
WORLD: live your truth
BIBLE: Jesus is Truth
WORLD: you do you
BIBLE: obey the Lord
WORLD: be your authentic self
BIBLE: be who God created you to be
WORLD: follow your heart
BIBLE: you need a new heart
WORLD: love is love
BIBLE: God is love
Listen to and obey God’s Word not the world.

“Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”
Jeremiah 32:26-27
Here Jeremiah had been told by God to purchase some land even though they are currently in captivity to Babylon! Jeremiah of course had questions about that to God. God told him the verse above and also told him they would once again take back the land Babylon had taken!
Nothing is beyond God’s hand remember that!
