Quiet TIME TAKEAWAY:
WHEN God acts THEN we are free to act.
My NOTES:
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you.”
Jeremiah 29:13-14
This has always puzzled me. Frankly, I’d think it’s backwards. Don’t I have to first put my heart into seeking God before I find him?
But today I spotted a key word a few verses earlier:
“This is what the LORD says: When seventy years are completed…I will come to you …”
Jeremiah 29:10
The word ‘WHEN’, holds the key to my puzzle… for it follows that ‘THEN’ ‘You will seek me and find me…
He holds the keys. God acts first.
While we were still sinners He died for us.’ He loved us first, that is key.
I needed the bigger picture.
It’s WHEN God allows – then we can live out the plan he has for us.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD,”
Jeremiah 29:20
My TAKEAWAY:
WHEN God acts THEN we are free to act.
