3 Oct - Jeremiah 1:1-2:30; Philippians 4; Psalm 75; Proverbs 24:17-20

Times fly. I recall the gloomy time just about 2 years ago when things did not seem clear in my present job. I felt side lined and pushed aside. I felt that I was going downhill and know not what next..

Determine to find a niche and forget about dependent on someone to apraise you and determine and give you your bonus, increment and promotion, I began doing my own business..

I am writing all these is because as I reflect back and now what I achieved, I give thank to God.

In Jeremiah, God reminded the people about their journey out from Egypt and into the promise land, but the poeple forget and forsake God. It was therefore a reminder for me, that my achievement is because of God and His blessings. Yes now I can speak louder in the company, because I now determine how much my monthly increment. Do not forget God.

Jer 1:4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the clans of the house of Israel. 5 Thus says the Lord:
“What wrong did your fathers find in methat they went far from me,and went after worthlessness, and became worthless?

It is so sad. I can imagine a father crying out to his son, what did I do wrong, my son, what wrong did you find in me, that you need to forsake me?

The Lord provides and the Lord bless, He loved us so much that as a earthly father, He will refuse to let go of his son.

Jer 1:13 for my people have committed two evils:they have forsaken me,the fountain of living waters,and hewed out cisterns for themselves,broken cisterns that can hold no water.

It was not only forsaking God, but actually the worship of other God. These were the two evils mentioned.

Yes, get rich and go after material things, then forget that the ability to make money is from God. Worst still, forsake God and worship money. You cannot served or worship both money and God!

I pray that as God reminded me, I will not forget that it is Him, who has showed the way and it is He who has led and it is He who has provided and it is He who has blessed the work of my hands and it is He the Lord and master of my life.
