Look to
Me!
“My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.: Jeremiah 2:13
After reading the second chapter of Jeremiah this
morning, I had this conversation with the Lord.
He did most of the talking:
He spoke first, “Look to me.”
Yes, I see you.
“No, look to me.”
Lord, I see you.
“Look to me!
Not out of the corner of your eye just keeping me in your line of
vision, not as a back up provision, just in case.”
“Look to me.
Invest all you have on me – I am a sure dividend. No need to hold anything back just in case
things don’t work out, just in case I don’t come through, just in case the
stock market crashes, just in case you lose your job, lose your health
insurance, lose your friends and/or family.
I mean it when I say I will never leave you nor forsake you. Though all others may abandon you, I will never
forget you – I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.”
“I have invested heavily in you. And I am a wise steward – so don’t even go
there. I thoroughly research all my
investments, you included, and I determined before the foundation of the world
that you were worth it, worth the investment of my only son, Jesus. Worthy to be a home for my Holy Spirit. A worthy dwelling place for my glory to abide
and leak out of.”
“So, look to me and don’t dig your own
wells. I am the God of more than enough.”
