You led me to see the light

Jer 29:1 These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Jer 29:2 This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers had departed from Jerusalem.
Jer 29:3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It said:
Jer 29:4 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jer 29:5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.
Jer 29:6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease.
Jer 29:7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
Jer 29:8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream,
Jer 29:9 for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the LORD.
Jer 29:10 "For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place.
Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
Jer 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Jer 29:14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
Jer 29:15 "Because you have said, 'The LORD has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,'
Jer 29:16 thus says the LORD concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your kinsmen who did not go out with you into exile:
Jer 29:17 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, behold, I am sending on them sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like vile figs that are so rotten they cannot be eaten.
Jer 29:18 I will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence, and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
Jer 29:19 because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the LORD, that I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the LORD.'
Jer 29:20 Hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles whom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jer 29:21 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying a lie to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall strike them down before your eyes.
Jer 29:22 Because of them this curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: "The LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,"
Jer 29:23 because they have done an outrageous thing in Israel, they have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and they have spoken in my name lying words that I did not command them. I am the one who knows, and I am witness, declares the LORD.'"
Jer 29:24 To Shemaiah of Nehelam you shall say:
Jer 29:25 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jer 29:26 'The LORD has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to have charge in the house of the LORD over every madman who prophesies, to put him in the stocks and neck irons.
Jer 29:27 Now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who is prophesying to you?
Jer 29:28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, "Your exile will be long; build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their produce."'"
Jer 29:29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jer 29:30 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Jer 29:31 "Send to all the exiles, saying, 'Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because Shemaiah had prophesied to you when I did not send him, and has made you trust in a lie,
Jer 29:32 therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah of Nehelam and his descendants. He shall not have anyone living among this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, declares the LORD, for he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.'"
Father God, I praised you because you are true to your promises. I seek you and I found you. You chose me but I did not choose you. OH Lord forgive me, I am a sinner but because you sent your son Jesus to die for my sins, you have put me right with you because of my faith in Jesus. Thank you Lord, that you led me to see the light. Father this day, bless me and filled me your Holy Spirit. Guard my thoughts, my eyes and my heart that I may not sin against you this day. Protect me from any evil. I rebuke and reject any works of evil. Help me that I may only focus into your words because I heed it in my heart. Lord, do no let me be astray today from your words, in every single thoughts I have, help me that it may be pure and holy because you are holy. I pray all this in the mighty Name of your Son Jesus, AMEN!

You hate those who do not obey YOU

Jer 9:1 I wish my head were a well of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I could cry day and night for my people who have been killed.
Jer 9:2 I wish I had a place to stay in the desert where I could get away from my people. They are all unfaithful, a mob of traitors.
Jer 9:3 They are always ready to tell lies; dishonesty instead of truth rules the land. The LORD says, "My people do one evil thing after another and do not acknowledge me as their God."
Jer 9:4 Everyone must be on guard against their friends, and no one can trust their relatives; for all relatives are as deceitful as Jacob, and everyone slanders their friends.
Jer 9:5 They all mislead their friends, and no one tells the truth; they have taught their tongues to lie and will not give up their sinning. They do one violent thing after another, and one deceitful act follows another. The LORD says that his people reject him.
Jer 9:6 (SEE 9:5)
Jer 9:7 Because of this the LORD Almighty says, "I will refine my people like metal and put them to the test. My people have done evil--- what else can I do with them?
Jer 9:8 Their tongues are like deadly arrows; they always tell lies. Everyone speaks friendly words to their neighbors, but they are really setting a trap for them.
Jer 9:9 Will I not punish them for these things? Will I not take revenge on a nation like this? I, the LORD, have spoken."
Jer 9:10 I said, "I will mourn for the mountains and weep for the pastures, because they have dried up, and no one travels through them. The sound of livestock is no longer heard; birds and wild animals have fled and gone."
Jer 9:11 The LORD says, "I will make Jerusalem a pile of ruins, a place where jackals live; the cities of Judah will become a desert, a place where no one lives."
Jer 9:12 I asked, " LORD, why is the land devastated and dry as a desert, so that no one travels through it? Who is wise enough to understand this? To whom have you explained it so that they can tell others?"
Jer 9:13 The LORD answered, "This has happened because my people have abandoned the teaching that I gave them. They have not obeyed me or done what I told them.
Jer 9:14 Instead, they have been stubborn and have worshiped the idols of Baal as their ancestors taught them to do.
Jer 9:15 So then, listen to what I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, will do: I will give my people bitter plants to eat and poison to drink.
Jer 9:16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have heard about, and I will send armies against them until I have completely destroyed them."
Jer 9:17 The LORD Almighty said, "Think about what is happening! Call for the mourners to come, for the women who sing funeral songs."
Jer 9:18 The people said, "Tell them to hurry and sing a funeral song for us, until our eyes fill with tears, and our eyelids are wet from crying."
Jer 9:19 Listen to the sound of crying in Zion: "We are ruined! We are completely disgraced! We must leave our land; our homes have been torn down."
Jer 9:20 I said, "Listen to the LORD, you women, and pay attention to his words. Teach your daughters how to mourn, and your friends how to sing a funeral song.
Jer 9:21 Death has come in through our windows and entered our palaces; it has cut down the children in the streets and the young men in the marketplaces.
Jer 9:22 Dead bodies are scattered everywhere, like piles of manure on the fields, like grain cut and left behind by the reapers, grain that no one gathers. This is what the LORD has told me to say."
Jer 9:23 The LORD says, "The wise should not boast of their wisdom, nor the strong of their strength, nor the rich of their wealth.
Jer 9:24 If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the LORD, have spoken."
Jer 9:25 The LORD says, "The time is coming when I will punish the people of Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and the desert people, who have their hair cut short. All these people are circumcised, but have not kept the covenant it symbolizes. None of these people and none of the people of Israel have kept my covenant."
Jer 9:26 (SEE 9:25)

Father God, thank you for this day. You are a Sovereign God, the Almighty God, the God of the universe and my Father in heaven.Thank you for adopting me as your child through your Son Jesus. Thank you for chosing me Oh Lord that even I am a sinner You still loved me uncondionally. Deliver me from evil today Lord that I ma do things that will please and glorify Your name.

Help me to finish well

Isa 65:1 The LORD said, "I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me, even though I was always ready to answer, 'Here I am; I will help you.'
Isa 65:2 I have always been ready to welcome my people, who stubbornly do what is wrong and go their own way.
Isa 65:3 They shamelessly keep on making me angry. They offer pagan sacrifices at sacred gardens and burn incense on pagan altars.
Isa 65:4 At night they go to caves and tombs to consult the spirits of the dead. They eat pork and drink broth made from meat offered in pagan sacrifices.
Isa 65:5 And then they say to others, 'Keep away from us; we are too holy for you to touch!' I cannot stand people like that---my anger against them is like a fire that never goes out.
Isa 65:6 "I have already decided on their punishment, and their sentence is written down. I will not overlook what they have done, but will repay them
Isa 65:7 for their sins and the sins of their ancestors. They have burned incense at pagan hill shrines and spoken evil of me. So I will punish them as their past deeds deserve."
Isa 65:8 The LORD says, "No one destroys good grapes; instead, they make wine with them. Neither will I destroy all my people---I will save those who serve me.
Isa 65:9 I will bless the Israelites who belong to the tribe of Judah, and their descendants will possess my land of mountains. My chosen people, who serve me, will live there.
Isa 65:10 They will worship me and will lead their sheep and cattle to pasture in the Plain of Sharon in the west and in Trouble Valley in the east.
Isa 65:11 "But it will be different for you that forsake me, who ignore Zion, my sacred hill, and worship Gad and Meni, the gods of luck and fate.
Isa 65:12 It will be your fate to die a violent death, because you did not answer when I called you or listen when I spoke. You chose to disobey me and do evil.
Isa 65:13 And so I tell you that those who worship and obey me will have plenty to eat and drink, but you will be hungry and thirsty. They will be happy, but you will be disgraced.
Isa 65:14 They will sing for joy, but you will cry with a broken heart.
Isa 65:15 My chosen people will use your name as a curse. I, the Sovereign LORD, will put you to death. But I will give a new name to those who obey me.
Isa 65:16 Anyone in the land who asks for a blessing will ask to be blessed by the faithful God. Whoever takes an oath will swear by the name of the faithful God. The troubles of the past will be gone and forgotten."
Isa 65:17 The LORD says, "I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten.
Isa 65:18 Be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. The new Jerusalem I make will be full of joy, and her people will be happy.
Isa 65:19 I myself will be filled with joy because of Jerusalem and her people. There will be no weeping there, no calling for help.
Isa 65:20 Babies will no longer die in infancy, and all people will live out their life span. Those who live to be a hundred will be considered young. To die before that would be a sign that I had punished them.
Isa 65:21 People will build houses and get to live in them---they will not be used by someone else. They will plant vineyards and enjoy the wine---it will not be drunk by others. Like trees, my people will live long lives. They will fully enjoy the things that they have worked for.
Isa 65:22 (SEE 65:21)
Isa 65:23 The work they do will be successful, and their children will not meet with disaster. I will bless them and their descendants for all time to come.
Isa 65:24 Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers.
Isa 65:25 Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil."

My Heavenly Father, I humble myself before your throne this day. Thank you for reminding of the new heaven and new earth that I hope for. Help me to finish well on this race to eternity. Thank you for reminding that there is always consequence on every sin. Thank you Father that You are a merciful God. Oh Father, I pray for comfort today and I surrender to you all my fears. I cast all my fears and worries in life to You that I may live into your comfort. Forgive me my Father to my unfaithfulness but continually changed my heart and make me a person you want me to be. Help me that I may follow your ways day by day, that I may not go astray as like a sheep leaving out the pen. Lord I am your servant and You are Holy. Help me live a holy and godly life that I may always be aware that I am a child of God and that I may always remember that while I am a sinner, Jesus gave His life for me. Help me that I may keep your words in my heart forevermore and will praise you throughout my life. This I pray in the Holy Name of Your Son JESUS, AMEN!
