HEART THAT ABIDES IN THE LORD WHO IS IN OUR MIDST
August 16 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 14-17
Key Verse – Jeremiah 14:9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
HEART THAT ABIDES IN THE LORD WHO IS IN OUR MIDST
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite adversity
Not hidden from His omniscient sovereignty
Surely exposed against sins’ obscurity
For us to experience spiritual prosperity.
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite anguish
Not remote from His tender mercies, iniquities can’t extinguish
Surely near against hatred causing soul to languish
For us to discern folly and then ignorance, distinguish.
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite loneliness
Not distant from His loving kindness
Surely ready against bitterness’ gloominess
For us to have joyful eagerness.
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite boredom
Not blurred from His bright wisdom
Surely radiant against dark earthliness’ kingdom
For us to optimize heavenly bliss of genuine freedom.
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite failure’s torture
Not far from His victorious gesture
Surely triumphant against losses’ posture
For us to cleave to Him around His divine nurture.
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite affliction
Not covered from His compassionate function
Surely bountiful against sorrows’ reaction
For us to serve Him with ministerial jubilation.
Our heart abides in the Lord Who is in our midst despite discouragement
Not blocked from His inspiring involvement
Surely helpful against sad sentiment
For us to learn from Him with faith’s works along stewardship-fulfillment.
