Look to Me!

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.”
