Thanksgiving In Jer 33 (Mar 13)

Thank God for Ready Access

God pledges to reestablish Judah
after it has been purified by the
discipline of exile. As a sign of His
promise, He orders Jeremiah to
buy a field that would soon belong
to the conquering Babylonians.
That land would one day become
part of the restored nation to be
ruled by the Righteous Branch,
David’s Messianic descendant.

Lord, we want to Hear from You:
The word of the Lord came to
Jeremiah while he was still shut
up in the court of the prison saying:
Thus says the Lord: the Lord who
made the earth and established it…
Call to Me, and I will answer you,
and show you great and mighty
things which you do not know
(Jeremiah 33:1-3). Amen.

Lord, we may find it challenging
to listen to those we interact with
because we may be self centred.
But we want to consult You God
and hear your voice because You
are not a cruel task master & want
to share great and mighty things.
Lord, I confess not being a good
listener and tend not wait to hear
what You have to say. Teach me
to hear your voice and grant me
the faith to trust and obey. Amen.

Lord, I want to hear from You,
and I want to hear from You with
a reasonable level of certainty.
I am asking You to speak in a way
that I can understand You clearly.
I know I may make mistakes
and mishear You sometimes.
But I trust U to gently correct me
for I need to know Your voice.
Lord, I realise to hear U consistently
will require faith and patience. So
help me ask with expectation and
wait patiently for your voice. Amen

Lord, we love to hear secret truths
that the world doesn’t know about.
It may be some verse in the Bible
which Your Spirit enables us to
understand in a way we have never
grasped. Or it may be seeing deep
into a friend’s heart in a way we’ve
never seen that person before.
Or it may be revelation over the
reason things happen to us and
we’ve never yet come to terms.
Lord, enable me with such insights
which will enhance my love and
understanding of You God. Amen.
