...that it may be well with us
when we obey
      the voice of the LORD.

                  Jeremiah 42. 6

(It always is.)

Because you have made

    the LORD your refuge,

the Most High your habitation...

                    Psalm 91. 9

(That changes everything.

God transforms and redeems

       the course of your life.

What we may see

   as circumstances

   we would not have chosen,

God opens opportunities

   such as we would not believe.)

Like cold water 

     to a thirsty soul,

so is good news

   from a far country.

             Proverbs 25. 25

(Who has God placed

           on my heart

to encourage today?)

So also good deeds

       are conspicuous,

and even when they are not,

they cannot remain hidden.

             1 Timothy 5. 25

(God always bears fruit

through goodness,

kindness,

        and grace,

even that which you may never see.

You can never know

  how profoundly God is using you.

God transforms even the simplest action

        into the most significant of all.)

Give thanks to the LORD of hosts,

for the LORD is good,

for His steadfast love

          endures for ever.

                 Jeremiah 33. 11

(the words to the song

       that never ends,

the refrain to the chorus

    that forever sustains me.

Over and over again,

   throughout my day,

   throughout my life.

Even in this.)

...I prayed to the LORD, saying,
"Ah, Lord GOD!
It is You
who have made
    the heavens and the earth
by Your great power
  and Your outstretched arm!
Nothing is too hard for You...

                Jeremiah 32. 16-17

(It is You.
 It is You.
 It is You.
The wonders of His creation
   are only a reminder
   of His power.
       Even in this.)

...found grace in the wilderness.

                  Jeremiah 31. 2

(God provides

for the longings of my heart

and the strength I need

     in unexpected places.

And sometimes

     it is not about me).
