Just wait and see His miracle…

Just wait and see His miracle…

Being worry is like a disease. It eats my heart, my faith and my self esteem. It also eats my relationship with GOD. I must not be worry even I have so many reasons to worry.

I want to thank God because this is the first day my daughter goes to school. She is in kindergarten now. Even she cried loud in the beginning, she went home happily. My business is still not good enough to feed us. What should I do? I don’t know except to give more brochures. I wish there will be a miracle.

Today I learn that I should not murmur because God does not like it. Baruch murmured and God punished him. I don’t want God punishes me. I must again set my heart to be a grateful heart.

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. Jer 45:1-5 (KJV)

The story has not end yet…

The story of Israel and Judah is not end yet. Even they were taken captive by the Babylonians, God still watching and wait for someone that wanted to seek him.
There were some one called Johanan. He seek God’s advice via Jeremiah and Jeremiah told him that God will protect him if he didn’t go to the Egypt. But, Johanan disobeyed God and he went to Egypt. God let the Babylonians attack the Egypt.

Some time when we seek advices and the advices are not the same as our will, we become angry and disobey the advices. We seek advice without a humble heart. We just look for follower, not advice.

In the body of Christ, everyone can seek and give advices. This can make the body firm. We just need to be humble. God just want me to be humble and the story will go on. The story of God within me will go on.

And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah. Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;  If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you. Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. Jer 42:7-12 (KJV)
