God's Part, Our Part... Stacey Pearson

God is doing his part! Are we doing our part? Am I doing my part?

Jeremiah 29: 10-14 MSG
"I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out, plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen.
When you come looking for me, you'll find me.
Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed."

I know that God is doing his part, I just wonder if I am doing my part! God is so faithful that he gave Jesus to die for us and when this was written, it was much more difficult to pursue God. We have the HS in our hearts as a "deposit" and we can connect to that power anytime we want. Are we doing it, am i doing it? What does it take for me to "want it more than anything else"? Am I desperate for the Lord on a daily basis? Is my faith this real?

These are questions that come to my mind when I read this text and these questions pierce right through me. How about you?

In Pursuit,
