Depend in the Lord

Who or what do we depend on in case of trouble

Today’s word comes from Jeremiah chapter 37,king zedekiah and the people of Israel and  Judah didn’t follow the word of the Lord spoken by  prophet jeremiah.the king sent one of his servants to Jeremiah,”pray now to the Lord our God  for us”.the king also sort the help of pharaoh’s army for the Chaldeans were besieging Jerusalem.The Lord said to Jeremiah you shall go to king who sent you to inquire from me and say that the army of pharaoh which came to help you will return to their country and the Chaldeans will return and destroy the land with fire.they threw Jeremiah into prison but the word of the Lord was fulfilled.

As Christian’s do we seek the Lord for help and intervention and also have a worldly solutions for our problems?Do we have patience to wait upon the Lord and obey His word at all time? Have we opened our eyes to the fact that worldly solutions may seem to solve a problem for a while but it will always return with serious consequences than before?

As I always say for the Lord’s eyes are not blind that He can’t see the situation we are in,His ears not deaf that He can’t hear our prayers,His arms are not short that He can’t reach you and me and comfort us.But we must understand that the Lord’s time is not our own time,and when you think  He is too late that’s when He comes and shows you that all is well.Amen
