As for me, here I am, in your hand; do with me as seems good and proper to you.--Jeremiah 26:14
Dear Girls,
I love this...Jeremiah speaking to his enemies says...here am I in your hand; do with me as seems good and proper to you. Jeremiah truly knew that despite how it looked from the outside, he was always in the palm of God's hand. He knew that whatever happened to him, God was controlling it all and protecting him. God is near...we live in His presence. He goes with you wherever you go. He is not a God afar off....He is near at hand.
What freedom and peace is ours when we come to that place of trust....where we can say as Jesus did, "nevertheless, not My will but Yours, be done." What a blessing to have such an awareness of His presence and an assurance of His care and of His perfect love that we can say as Jeremiah did..."do with me as seems good to you"...or as David did in Psalm 31:
But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, "You are my God." My times are in Your hand;
Praying that each of us can meet each moment with this kind heart attitude of explicit trust and acceptance of His will...That, by faith, we would walk with Him in agreement...and dwell in the shelter of His perfect love knowing that He really does perfect all that concerns us and performs all things for us.
Love
Mom
