Lasting Possessions
He said through them, 'Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and stop doing the evil things you are doing. If you do, I will allow you to continue to live here in the land that I gave to you and your ancestors as a lasting possession. -Jeremiah 25:5
For those who have been complacent in doing things for God, this verse tells us that God is serious in giving punishments for those who won't obey Him. Wasted time, worried mind and confused heart are some of the things God hates most. We need to turn to God and submit whatever consequences we would be facing. God is merciful and kind to ease our burdens. Live a life that constantly growing in the knowledge and likeness of Jesus. That's why the cross at Calvary reminds us about His love for us. It's not yet too late, to repent and stop sinning so that we may be able to claim lasting possessions God is giving us.
Lord, many of us have been complacent in seeking you in this life. You still love and forgive us. Let us count the ways you've helped us during troubles and pains. Before we utter this prayer you know the answer is and this is always for our own good. May our thoughts and meditations be pleasing to your sight.
