Jeremiah 42:10-12 (ESV)
10 If you will remain in this land, then I will build you
up and not pull you down; I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I relent
of the disaster that I did to you. 11 Do not fear the king of Babylon, of whom
you are afraid. Do not fear him, declares the Lord, for I am with you, to save
you and to deliver you from his hand. 12 I will grant you mercy that he may
have mercy on you and let you remain in your own land.
As we read Scripture sometimes it can hit us pretty hard.
I believe there are words for all of us
here.
God has called each of us to something specific and He
wants to plant us in a way that our roots can grow deep in Him and in that
particular calling. He wants us to become solely dependent on His nourishment
there, that we might grow to be strong, solid leaders with the capacity to
serve and guide those around us who are in need where He's called us.
The Lord warns us about being double-minded. We're
double-minded when become too busy to seek God's will for lives and the
empowerment to fulfill it. We're double-minded when we allow our fear and
anxiety to get in the way of us getting to and staying in that place to which
He's called us.
Let's not run from the Lord. He has so many blessings for
those who seek Him and follow after Him whole-heartedly. Let's give our all to
Him today and strive to be single minded in His calling upon our lives!
