Jeremiah 9:23-24,”Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD”

Speaks for its self. But to comment on it.

God is truly Good! He is Good and Strong. Not evil and strong or good and weak… He is Always Good and Strong!

Let us Glory in the Lord God Almighty who made us! He is a good Father, our Father!

Jeremiah 8:7, “Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.”

Animals are smarter than us. They “observe the time of their coming” and we do not. We would be wise to look to the animals for the know their creator! They do not worry about tomorrow says Matthew 6:26, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”

Think on these things

Jeremiah 7:23, “But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.”

To catch you up I started reading one chapter of Jeremiah every week starting January 1st. That is where I read for example Chapter 1 everyday for one week, the next week chapter two and so on.

While reading I look for one or two verses to put on Facebook (and now here) that have popped out at me. Now on Facebook I just put the verse and nothing more. On here I will try to put a little something with it.

Here are the past six weeks verses:

Jeremiah 1:19, “And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.”

Jeremiah 2:32, “Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.”

Jeremiah 3:12, “Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.”

Jeremiah 4:22, “For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.”

Jeremiah 5:22, “Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?”

Jeremiah 6:16, “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.”

I will put the new one on each Sunday.

So today after listening to lysa terkeurst “When a woman say yes to God” I looked for more books.

See I like in the hand Real books, so I checked where I could buy them. (On Amazon)

I then checked YouTube for stuff. She is amazing, and thinks a lot how I think.

So I recommend looking her up.

I started listening to an audio book today called

I am only two chapters in and I love it!

Tonight I wrote in my Diary, and I was looking back at all I have been through…

I began to cry, not because I was sad, but because of the Mercy of God.

God has been so good to me.

You say, “But what about all you have been through? Depression, the loss of your Papa, etc?”

Yes I have been through those things, yet God is good.

God makes no mistakes. He is all-knowing, almighty God! I thank God for what I have been through, for if I hadn’t gone through those things… I wouldn’t be as close to Him today as I am.

Do I miss my Papa? Yes. I miss him everyday. But I know one day I will be with him, my mom, and my Savior! Papa is not sick and Mom is not sick. They are living the joys of Heaven.

I thank God for the tears, joys, laughs, sorrows, ups, and downs of my life.

Here is a Verse I memorized this week.

Psalms 18:32 “It is God that girdeth me with Strength, and maketh my way Perfect.”

Last week was tough. Being gone all day made me wonder what I will do when I get a job. I do my devotions in the afternoon, and that will not work come then.

My sister and I were able to spend time together in the War Room every night before bed. It helped us calm down from the day, and prepare for the next. We never went to battle without our “Armor.”

We do thank God for the strength He gave us last week!

War Room is going well. Happy to say that we have stuck with it. It is hard, yet it becomes less hard as time goes by. I may groan a little when I go into our closet, but the moment prayer starts, that goes away.

Prayer is a powerful thing.

I had to eat humble pie a few days in. I had some bitterness in my heart and I needed to forgive someone. This person had no idea I had these thoughts. I emailed, since we barley see each other. Apologized for how I had had a grudge for way too long. Even though I had a major piece of Humble Pie… It felt good to “get right”.

When my sister got home from Ohio, she was much better, and she for many reasons.

1. She was with grandma of whom is caring.
2. She was in a house that had no arguing.
3. She was able to do devotions anytime she liked.
4. She was able to talk freely.
5. The topic of Jesus wasn’t downed.
6. She got away from it all.
7. Jesus was able to be her friend.
8. She watched War Room.

All these things helped my sister grow in the Lord. She grew for the better.

After having me watch War Room when she got back, some things changed with me. I really need War Room. My Prayer and devotional life were sadly pretty non-existent. We ended up clearing one side of our walk-in closet to make room.

Watch War Room by the Kendrick Brothers and you will know what I mean. Here’s a link to the trailer:

Excellent movie! I recommend it.

We are ready to grow!
