Let God Have His Way

Jeremiah 33:1-10


The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: ² “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.” ³ Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. ⁴ And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
⁵ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ⁶ “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! ⁷ The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, ⁸ if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. ⁹ And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, ¹⁰ if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.


Do you feel as if your world is spinning out of control and wonder when will the frustration end?  It is when we'll embrace and understand, we do not run our world nor ourselves.  We're in God's universe, made to operate in love and goodness.  This world is to much to take on by ourselves, in our own finite minds.  This is why our bible was set in place to remove all doubt and skepticism for our reason for being here on earth.  There are times we can't understand why we did this or that, not to mention why a person did this or that to themselves or even to us.  Which is why we need to release our minds to God and His heart to learn the things we cannot understand.  The more we deny our truth, be sure the harder life will become.  Gratefulness, thankfulness, and an merciful heart which pertain to God is what He is looking for in us.  God says, He is a jealous God and will do as He pleases.  This same mode of operation is working in us today.  Our plans, our ideas, our own achievements.  Self cannot be our only concern for living, but God can be.  This attitude can turn all our situations, plans, and dreams around for the better.  Living sacrifices we are to be.  And God says, It should be our reasonable service to Him.  Our lands are desolate and dry today. God won't release the rain like it should be behind our behavior.  Anger, hostility, and rage is on the up rise.  Dreams, aspirations, and successes on the down.  God controls everyone and everything.  Create in yourself a today a clean heart and right spirit.  Then let God have His way. 
 
(Matthew 11: 12-15)  And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. ¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear!


Blessings to the children of God, May we let Him have His way in our lives,
