Today’s Thought “God, Did YOU Hear Us?” G. Ward Jeremiah 32:17 Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. Father God, we’ve depended on every other source to supply our happiness and prosperity; while YOU remained patient with us concerning our welfare. We’ve read Your judgments against the nation You loved with their blatant conformity unto unjust ways from a worldly standard that included a self-righteous indignation that assumed sufferings of sorts weren’t to exist. We’ve regarded this strange land to which we live as superior with Your name stamped on its people along with placards indicating You as Owner and that pomposity never invited the whole of mankind to where Truth only existed, that is The Almighty as their refuge and strength, demanding they not ever turn from knowing, then exercising therein. Our guilt is obscured by the measures given others while in this land flowing with milk and honey and while in that assessment we strive against the wind, we never knelt to notice You were at watch, being the Only ONE who knew our selfish motives only sought to celebrate You in presumed victories without regard to Your imposing judgments. While the few of us who truly love Your righteousness exist in this strange land, we ask Your will be done through us to convey that Holy Standard to any who will listen before it’s too late. In the Name truly ABOVE every name – JESUS, Amen.
