Starting Now

 

Give thanks to the 

       LORD of hosts,

for the LORD is good,

for His steadfast love

      endures forever.

       Jeremiah 33. 11

Just in case we forget,

this truth is repeated

   44 times in Scripture.

Often used as a 

      call and response,

it is not just a refrain

  but a reality on which

  we can stake our lives.

How differently would we

  go into our days

if we repeated this verse

     over and over again?

Starting now.

O LORD,

We are so often confused

by what we are going through.

Remind us through Your Word

of Your goodness

      and Your steadfast love,

even in the hard stuff.

Bring these words to mind

 as we go into this very day.

Engrave this promise

     in our hearts

that we may be directed

not only by Your call,

  but how we respond.
