Jer 37:13 "In All Our Cisterns, He is There" (November 3)
The Word of the LORD kept coming to Jeremiah.
Over and over again, he heard from God.
And in all the weighty words,
he landed in a cistern, doomed to die.
What did Jeremiah ponder in that cistern?
Whether we are in a cistern or a chapel,
in the midst of recognition or dismissal,
in the midst of safety or danger,
our God knows and is at work.
Will we trust him in the confusion?
Will we trust him in our delusion?
Jer 37:13 ~

Will we trust Him and cling to Him when all is going well? I do think I tend to cling and trust Him more when I am in a pit than when I am not in one. Yet, I want to be thankful and trust Him in ALL things. Loving my Gratitude Journal that Ann Voskamp has inspired. Count your many blessings and you will be surprised and what God has done. A grateful heart is one that is content and at peace. Blessings on everyone's week end.
