August 17 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 18-22

Key Verse – Jeremiah 18:19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.

HEART THAT BEGS THE LORD TO HEED TO US Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our confessed sinfulness Through His goodness midst our selfishness Toward fruitfulness upon service-eagerness Truly prosperous for faith’s steadfastness. Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our limitation Through His grace midst our affliction Toward conviction upon truth-instruction Truly Bible-based for standard’s promotion. Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our adversity Through His guidance midst our disability Toward progress upon soul-prosperity Truly productive for eternity’s bounty. Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our ignorance Through His wisdom midst our foolish tolerance Toward diligence upon holiness-endurance Truly righteous for discipleship’s perseverance. Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our discouragement Through His compassion midst our discontentment Toward fulfillment upon dedication-commitment Truly meaningful for ministry settlement’s engagement. Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our cowardice Through His power midst our vain practice Toward bravery upon soulwinning and discipleship-office Truly valiant for righteousness’ advancement with divine notice. Our heart begs the Lord to heed to us in our disobedience Through His omniscience midst our hypocrisy of worthless expedience Toward humility upon sincere confession-experience for clean conscience Truly repentant for satisfaction’s patience.
