Jeremiah 33:2-3
This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it — the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
What of Today’s Verse…
In a universe of billions of stars, think of the power of the God who made them and knows each of their names. Think of all he knows that we don’t. Think of all he has seen that is not in a history book. Think of all he has done and can do. Add to this that he invites us to speak to him about the things of our heart.
Let us Pray:
Almighty God, there are so many things I am simply ignorant about. There are so many things in my world that I can’t understand. There are so many things about you that I long to know but I can’t begin to comprehend you. Please, dear Father, please give me more of you, and about you, that I may know you better. You are beyond me, so deal gently as you reveal yourself. I look with anticipation at the thought of knowing you, the Unsearchable, the Almighty, God, my Abba. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Give yourself time…
If you’re going to do something, give yourself time to do it. Is it really so great to have it all right now, or to do it all right now?
When you drive somewhere, leave early. Avoid the frustration and anger which come from being delayed by traffic. Enjoy the pleasant feeling of arriving early, relaxed and confident. When you must meet a deadline, start early, give yourself more than enough time to finish the project, and complete the work ahead of schedule. In your own mind, move the deadline a couple of days earlier. Your work will be much better if it is not rushed at the last minute.
Give yourself the time you need to accomplish the things you want. Maintain a healthy sense of urgency, but avoid the panic and frustration of a last-minute rush. You’ll get more done and you’ll be more effective, when you take the time to do it right.
