I wait for the Lord , my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope.
Psalms 130:5 NASB

God talks a lot about idols in the old testament. He hate them! Where do we put out trust? Is it in our money, our looks, our jobs, our children, our spouses? God says put it in him and we will be blessed. Can I get an Amen?
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord .
Jeremiah 17:7 NASB
True wisdom is of God, not from man.
One thing to also remember. You need to read the next 2 verses. It says you need to ask in FAITH……..for the one who doubts, is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. Let not that man expect, that he will receive anything from the LOTD!
The Good….God allways hears our prayers for those who believe. The Bad…We don’t always get our prayers answered, because we don’t always ask in his will. The Ugly…Some of us continue to throw up selfish prayers and don’t change.
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:14 NASB
What Good News! Do you believe it? There is no sin you can hide from God. Why not humble yourself before him, and be washed white as snow. Don’t beat yourself up. There is no sin God cannot forgive? Do you believe it? If you are hiding from him, then you are missing it. Humble yourself before him, and let him change your heart, through his grace and mercy. The alternative is, he will humble you anyway, but it will not be a good ending for you. Not now, and not forever, possibly. May the Lord grant you his eyes to see today.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord , And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7 NASB
The Lamp on my feet tells me where I am. The light to my path tells me where I am going.
This Righteousness comes from God. If we seek our own, then it is self Righteousness and it doesn’t satisfy, but destroys. Hint: only way to receive this Righteousness is through Jesus.
It’s always a heart issue with God, isn’t it? Your heart has to be in the right place to find him. Its not so much in our own strength, but a humble submission to a Holy God, that draws us to him. Read the 2 verses before this and you will see the rest of the story, as an old radio announcer used to say.
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB
What motivates you to work?
Yesterday, I was asked this question. I didn’t use this verse, but quoted from Thessalonians about doing your work heartily as unto the Lord. It was a very young man who asked the question, and after being completely caught off guard, he said, that’s a great answer. The conversation didn’t go further, but I am hoping I get the job, and the Lord can use it for further discussion.

Commit your works to the Lord And your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3 NASB
Our days are numbered, help us to use them wisely, LORD. How will we live differently today, because of this?
By the way, how’s your sharing going? Please share whether good or bad. I shared online with someone and was accused of believing in Santa among other things. I count it a privilege, to be attacked for the sake of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation.
So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
